We present here a report from Kolkata, India, which illustrates the persisting deeply anchored roots of stigma in leprosy and our failure to make a significant change in the situation. Kolkata is a metropolitan city in West Bengal, which is one of the states with a persisting leprosy problem (10 321 new cases were detected in 2010{\textendash}2011).
