Dashrath Manjhi- The Mountain MAN #Respect
Dashrath Manjhi was born into a poor labourer family in Gahlour village near Gaya in Bihar, India. He is also known as Mountain Man. Manjhi's wife, Falguni Devi, died due to lack of medical treatment because the nearest town with a doctor was 70 kilometres (43 mi) away from their village in Bihar, India.
Manjhi did not want anyone else to suffer the same fate as his wife, so he carved a 360-foot-long through-cut, 25-foot-deep in places and 30-foot-wide to form a road through a mountain in the Gehlour hills, working day and night for 22 years from 1960 to 1982. His feat reduced the distance between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of the Gaya district from 55 km to 15 km, bringing him national acclaim. He died on August 17, 2007. He was given a state funeral by the Government of Bihar.
Manjhi died a frustrated man. His work was neither recognised nor awarded. But people will remember him and his story will inspire many.
A simple nd yet wondereful example that a mole(man) matter's in front of a mountain!
good thought with perfect motivation nd effort towards ur goal, will take u places!
Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE!!
