Doctor, MADAN LAL SEHGAL, ( 23rd February 1929 - 29th May 2002), born and raised in a Hindu family ( Father, Shri, Dewan Krishan Lal Sehgal and mother, Smt. Vidyawati Sehgal) in Pindigheb near the border of North-West frontier province now in Pakistan. Religion:- Hindu, Kshatriya (from kshatra, "rule, authority") is one of the four varna (social orders) of the Hindu society. Traditionally, the kshatriya constituted the ruling and military elite. Their role was to protect society by fighting in wartime and governing in peacetime. His father, an idealist, was a school teacher against the wishes of family who wanted him to choose some other means of income. Because of the sickness of mother, Dr.M.L. Sehgal was taken to another town to be looked after by his maternal grandparents when he was 40 days old. In the year 1945, he had completed his studies till matric (10th standard) in village school and later for further studies he shifted to another town (Rawalpindi – now in Pakistan). To continue his studies he did some small jobs. As the family was not affluent, his father asked him to find some job. He took up a small job in a defence set up in Rawalpindi Soon came the partition during which his family get settled in Delhi, but while migrating he could not accompany his family due to living in separate cities. For almost six months his family had no clue about him. Upon reaching India for a short time he stayed in his friend’s house in Jalandhar (border area in India). It was a hard time for him to start life in an entirely new place and continue his studies. He did his graduation in Delhi. His love for Hinduism was strong. In his youth he remained active in many field like politics, working in temple, Arya Samaj, and joined Rashtriya swayamsevek sangh (National Volunteer Organization).

He got married to Smt.Bimla Sehgal. It was an arranged marriage. They had two sons Dr. Sanjay Sehgal and Dr. Yogesh Sehgal; both joined Homnoeopathy and have been carrying forward the legacy left behind by him. He joined M.T.N.L. a telecommunication company, but from heart he wasn’t happy with the job.He was a man of honesty and dignity. Whatever assignment he took in hand, he would do it with full determination and honesty. In his service he was also an active member of Trade Union and would fight for justice. His senior officers liked him for his dedication and for that when all other Trade union members were suspended due to some official reason, his seniors told in the court that they have no grudges against him and he can join the office. They didn’t put any charge against him. But, for the sake of his other colleagues he refused the offer, and told the management that he will only join the office when all his colleagues will be taken back. Ultimately after 6, they won the case and he joined the office with other colleagues.

Homoeopathic Carrier
Internally he wasn’t happy to do 9am to 5 pm job, as there was no creativity and no help for humanity. He was in search for some real work by which he can help people. It was by chance that, he befriended a doctor practicing Homoeopathy. After office in the evening he would visit him and read books and other Homoeopathic literature. Seeing his interest in Homoeopathy, that doctor advised him to learn Homoeopathy. As he was looking for something appealing his doctor friend helped him joining a Homoeopathic course. He kept on visiting his friend’s clinic in the evening and, on weekend with his doctor friend he used to visit nearby village to treat patients with Homoeopathy (between the period 1971 to 1973). Impressed by his dedication and zeal to learn Homoeopathy, his doctor friend advised him to leave the job and do homoeopathy as a profession. It was a turning point in his life. He grasped the opportunity. It was like a dream come true to serve the humanity. For financial reasons he started learning and practicing Homoeopathy with job.

His passion to learn was so much that to buy books he would save money to buy books and medicines from his own monthly pocket money. He would walk 7 k.m. to office, didn’t buy new clothes, and stopped meeting friends for tea in order to save the money so that his family should not have to compromise with facilities.

Finally, in 1983 he left the job and dedicated his life for Homoeopathy. In the same year he laid down the foundation of Dr.Sehgal’s School of Revolutionized Homoeopathy in Paharganj, New Delhi.
