Indian farmer Ranjeeta Ramji, 60, holds one of his blind calves by its ear in the village of Khetolai, in the western Indian state of Rajasthan, June 16, 2002 to show a cyst on its neck. Ramji and other villagers say many of their calves have been born blind and diseased since India conducted underground nuclear tests in 1998 at the Pokaran test range, a few km (miles) from the village.
