Indian farmer removed the mountain

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 - blocked rocky mountain. There was only a road to bypass, a long and uncomfortable. One wife Dashratha, climbing the mountain, fell and was seriously injured. Help the time could not provide, and soon she died.

The farmer took a shovel, a hammer and chisel to break through the road and went into the mountain. Every day he went to peck, to dig out the stones. The neighbors called him a madman. Local government, mired in laziness and lack of money, did not lift a finger to help. It took him twenty-two years - from 1960 to 1982 minutes, almost razed to the mountain and to do it in the road. Now the way to the town now takes 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. Said removed a feature film about his life.
