1. Sindutai Sapkal: Sindutai Sapkal mother of the orphan.
She was born on 14 November 1948 in Maharastra, India. She belongs to a poor family and people use to call her chandhi' which means torn pieces of cloth. Her father wanted her to take education but her mother came against her because of her financial problems. When she was 12 years old she was married to a 20 years old man who was a shepherd. Difficulties arise but she still encourages herself. Now the story begins:
One day, she gets into an argument with a forest officer and landlord regarding having not received their wages of collecting cow dung from the forest. At the age of twenty, she bore 3 sons and was pregnant with a nine-month baby in her womb. One day she got badly beaten and was left her to die in a cowshed by her husband. The reason for that is because he believed rumors people had spread about Sundutai that she got pregnant by some other person and not by him. She got unconscious and gave birth to the baby in the cowshed. At that moment no one was there to help her cut the umbilical cord. She hit the umbilical cord sixteen times with a stone and broke it. After that, she lost all hope and wanted to commit suicide by sitting on a railway track, but ultimately, she wasn't able to go through with it. She did not have food to eat or a place to sleep. She started to beg for food and she used to sleep in the cemetery. One day she even had to cook roti/chapati in burnt wood of the dead body because she doesn't have alternatives. After that, the thing is getting on the track.
She has since then devoted
her entire life to orphans. She is called 'Mai'(mother). She has helped over
1,050 orphaned children. As of today, she has a huge family of 207 sons-in-law,
36 daughters-in-law, and over a thousand grandchildren. She still continues to
fight for their next meals. Man children whom she adopted are well-educated
lawyers and doctors. Her biological daughter is running his own independent
orphanage. She has been honored with over 273 awards for her work.
A Marathi-language film Mee Sindhutai Sapkal released in 2010, is a movie inspired by her true story.
2. Bhagalpur kids and Steady Poverty in slums.
COVID-19 pandemic ruined the lives of people all over the world. Likewise, I bring the stories of Bhagalpur kids who eat frogs for their daily meals to survive, and about steady poverty in slums. Before this pandemic, the children were dependent on government education where they get to fill their stomachs in school by mid-day meal, get school consideration money, clothes/shoes others for the cover their body which is more enough to them. But now, the schools are closed and they can't even get good food to eat or clothes to wear.
Steady poverty has blinded the vision of people to work. This is a small sad story:
A poor man comes to a hotel and buys the full of tin fodder which includes customers' waste rice and other spoil foods. We think that the fodder is for animals but it's too sad to say that they use that fooder for themselves to eat as daily meals. They go to rivers and by using the net they separate the rice from the dirtier fodder and wash it afterward. They cook that rice for their meals. We can see that slums are the unseen portion of every country. Their childhood dreams would be to carry books and copies in their bags but instead of it replace backpacks by plastic sacks as they are employed in child labor to collect raw material, plastics, bottles others to sell it and bearly earn 50 to 100 rupees in a day.
3. Unheard cases of raped infants and underage girls.
A four-month-old baby girl from Hardoi who came to Lucknow was raped and killed in the process in February 2020. The accused cousin was arrested. Although some people consider that to be justice for the poor girl, in my opinion, even the death of the accused cannot count as justice. He ruined many lives because of a slight mishap, as he murdered an innocent child as a result of his sick animalistic instincts.
An eight-year-old girl was raped by her three cousins on Raksha Bandhan. Yes, it happened only a few days ago. The three cousins are reported to be above 20 years old. The suspects have been taken in custody and have faced charges.
