Raza H. Tehsin, a household name in this region, is the one of the initiators of Wildlife conservation movement in Southern Rajasthan. Son of a renowned shikari T. H. Tehsin, one of the earliest big game hunters turned conservationist of India, Raza grew up seeing jungles and animals around him. His father’s monopoly of arms and ammunition business in Mewar and his passion for hunting kept Raza in the forests for long periods of time since he was a child. This not only brought him close to Nature but also increased his knowledge of indigenous herbs and medicines.
His mother Khurshid Banu Tehsin was the one who started giving an indigenous treatment for Leucoderma/Vitiligo almost 60 years back. She passed on the treatment that consisted of one medicine to Raza, who continued to refine his knowledge of herbs and added three more medicines to the treatment. For the past 40 years, Raza has been giving the treatment to people affected by this cosmetic skin disorder.
