Man, Clear Mountain Bashny.Net

Indian peasant Dashrath Manjhi belonged to the lowest caste and lived in a poor village, where there was nothing, not even a hospital. Direct path to civilization - the neighboring town - was blocked by a rocky mountain. There was only way to bypass, a long and uncomfortable. Once wife Dashratha, climbing the mountain, fell and was seriously injured. Help just have not been able to, and she soon died.





The farmer took a shovel, a hammer and chisel to break through the road and went into the mountain. Every day he goes off batter, dig, remove the stones. The neighbors called him a madman. Local government, mired in laziness and lack of money, not lift a finger to help. It took him twenty-two years - from 1960 to 1982, the second to virtually razed the mountain and do it in the road. Now the way to the town began to occupy an hour on foot. All India learned about him as "a man to remove the mountain." When Dashrath died, the state government gave him a solemn funeral. They say that removed a feature film about his life.
