Talk:Jaipur foot

Untitled
Please note that the obituary for Dr. Sethi in New York Times indicates he developed the Jaipur "foot" (as it is referenced by NYT) with the help of "Ramachandra Sharma, a semiliterate craftsman who had been teaching lepers to make handicrafts and who became his assistant". The Wiki article here should be updated if the NYT obit is accurate.

I wonder if Sharma and Chandra are two versions of the same Indian name? Maybe an Indian native could step in here and help out.

Sharma and Chandra are not two versions. They are entirely different words. Chandra means moon. Sharma is a surname used by a certain caste. Todd (talk) 13:11, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The Lancet obit refers to him as "Ram Chandra", "Chandra" and "Ram Chandra Sharma". I wonder if the Sharma is an honorific? Espresso Addict (talk) 09:09, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Cost
So far I have references for $50, 250 rupees or 3 euros, $28, $80 or $50-$100, $65, $33 and $45, which is what the article currently says. Any ideas for a more authoritative source or a way to reconcile these numbers? I suspect the actual answer is that it varies significantly based on who is making it and where, the materials used, etc, but I can't find a source to back that claim up.
