Arun's search for truth
There is a subject that seems to fascinate Indians. That of these children adopted elsewhere who come back to find their biological family in India 20, 30 years after the adoption. And there is one that regularly makes ink flow because it seems to them surely more crunchy than the others. It is that of this 37 year old man born in Pune (India) and adopted quickly (at 2 months!!!) by a German couple.
Arun believes that his biological father is the brother of an Indian minister, that he is the product of an adulterous affair and that he was taken away from his biological mother at birth. He therefore wants to find his biological mother, and files a lawsuit to this effect in India.
Arun, I met him on the English-speaking forums on Indian AI. He had anti-AI positions, had been involved in anti-Indian AI activities and regularly uttered hurtful and insulting words about AI ("International adoption IS child trafficking".). In short, he was regularly kicked off the forums and came back with fake pseudonyms to cause trouble. We could feel a tortured mind, sad to death, despite loving parents, a wife, children...
Despite his extreme positions on AI, his story touches me. Interestingly, he managed to get a DNA test from the biological son of his alleged biological father (I wonder if it was with his consent!!!) which would prove 90% that he is right about his father. In addition, the minister's brother would have played an important role in his adoption (which one??). But despite everything, the Indian justice system seems to be ruling against him.
Poor guy, attacking a minister's brother, what are the chances that the truth will come out??? OR is he wrong???
An article about him is here , but there are tons of them on the net right now.

“I won't be satisfied until I find my birth mother”
An adopted Indian's 17-year search for his biological parents has resulted in a landmark judgment which will fundamentally change adoption rules of the country.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Arun Dohle, 37, to access his adoption records, which was illegal until now.
Dohle was two months old when a German couple, Michael and Gertrude Dohle, adopted him in 1973 from Kusumbai Motichand Mahila Seva Gram (KMMSG), an adoption center in Pune. Dohle has been seeking adoption records from the center since 1993.
