KARACHI: Accidentally stranded in Pakistan for more than a decade, the young deaf-mute woman shows off a single treasured photograph of the people she believes are her long-lost family in India and who she will soon travel to meet.
Known only as Geeta, she has been stuck in Pakistan ever since she wandered over one of the world’s most militarised borders from India more than 10 years ago. Lost and alone, unable to identify her family or where she came from, she has remained in Pakistan under the care of the country’s largest welfare organisation, the Edhi Foundation, living in a shelter in the port city of Karachi.
