Manjhi - The Mountain Man
Would you take ca charge if someone ask you to cut the mountain and make road across by your self only and only with the help of a hammer and bunch of chisels,
Yes!! You will not do it at all but what if i tell you that a man in India has done it already,Yes!we are talking about the man famous with the name of Manjhi - The Mountain Man.
His full name is Dashrath Manjhi. Manjhi, widely known as the "Mountain Man", was a poor labourer in Gehlaur village, near Gaya in Bihar, India, who carved a path 9.1 metres (30 ft) wide and 110 metres (360 ft) long through a hill 7.6 metres (25 ft) using only a hammer and chisel,
In the 1960s Dashrath Manjhi lived in a small village Gehlaur near Gaya, Bihar, India: with his family including his wife Phaguniya Devi and his son. There was a rocky mountain near his village that people either had to climb across or travel round to gain access to medical care at the nearest town Wazirganj. One day Manjhi's wife (when pregnant) fell while trying to cross the mountain and eventually died giving birth to a girl, after which Manjhi decided to carve a road through it. When he started hammering the hill people called him a lunatic but that only steeled his resolve further. After 22 years of back-breaking labour, Manjhi carved a path 360 feet long, 25 feet deep in places and 30 feet wide.
Manjhi died in 2007. 4 years after his death the government finally made a metalled road to Gehlaur in 2011.
He is truly a inspiration for all the youngsters and teach us never give up attitude should be there,
