Dashrath Manjhi - The man who cut a mountain for his wife and village



It was his wife that he determined to make road cutting a mountain.
The reason his wife passed away by the arrived in hospital late going over a mountain.
He hoped that this does not happen to the village people.
However, the village people were laughing at him.

Dashrath Manjhi is a firm believer, but they never cut maountain alone.
This work  started in 1960 and has lasted by 1982.
The road was finally created in about 20 years.
This road is 9 meter in breadth and 100 meter in length.
This passage reduced the distance between Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya district from 70km to just 7km.

The village people who were laughing at him called him the 'Mountain Man' when he made the road.
I heard India's government was christened the 'Dashrath Manjhi Road' after had been paved.
Dashrath Manjhi is an impressive man for 22 years that never let it happen again.

Here is the man and here is he mountain he cleaved alone.
There is too much respect of him.

  1. It is really a touching story, I think it is not only a road, but also the interpretation of real love.
