Grieving Man carries Wife's Body for Miles
A grieving man in India carried his wife’s body for miles after the hospital where she died allegedly failed to provide a way to transport the body back to their village.
With no money to hire a vehicle, Dana Manjhi walked 10 kilometers on foot in the hot and humid summer temperatures carrying his wife’s body over his shoulders. His 12-year old weeping daughter accompanied him.
Manjhi and his daughter were still some 50 kilometers away from their village when some passersby and locals spotted them. They informed a television channel. An Odisha TV journalist found them and recorded their video that has been widely shared across India. Manjhi stated in the video that he was poor and he had told the hospital authorities he could not afford a vehicle but they said they could not offer any help.
A car was eventually organized for Manjhi.
The hospital denied reports that it withheld a car for him adding that no one knows when Manjhi carried his wife out of the hospital. They went on to add that even the death of his wife was not confirmed by the on-duty doctor.
A district official has stated that an inquiry has been launched into the incident assuring that due actions would be taken if any wrongdoing has taken place.
In several eastern countries, an “inquiry” or an “investigation” or a “judicial inquiry” are tools in the hands of authorities used effectively to calm down and control a violent or disturbing situation. The results of such “inquiries” seldom get to be known.
The heading may be wrong Its not grieving man - Its jealous man who don't want to accept free money or free ride carried his deceased wife to 10 -12 KM's
No offence for my dear pathan friends !
Its just an example to make some dumb understand.....:)
MM just an Example : if you are hit by a car at Doha Jadeed area and seriously injured but can crawl like a snail....wat will you do ?
Wait for some pathans to pick you up and take you to their Palace and give you royal treatment or Crawl your self to nearby hospital ?
We came into this world ALONE ............ we need to take motivation from this fact .................
For example, If a man is injured, he is able to crawl ........ shouldn't he drag himself to the nearby place where he would find some help .......... or he should just blame the society that no body is offering him a lift & loose is life ......... ? ............ Blaming others is in no way a good man's sign ........... ..........
On the other side this world would always have comments for you ....... which ever way you do the things you get criticized ........... If the man could have asked the daughter to help him carry the body from one side by placing the body over a wooden board , in that situation we must have told here that he is wrong ....... ........... we need to focus on the situation not the mode .......... ...... he did the right thing by walking out to the home before wasting any more time & reach home before sun set & do the other ceremonies ............
Brit, What a man on this earth would do other than carrying her body in any possible way ........... ? ..........
.
Please suggest natural ways, without use of technology , remember you are there where this man's wife breathed her last ............
There is comething wrong with society when a man has to walk carrying his deceased wife's daughter with a sobbing daughter by his side ..
The thief is caught now ...........
** Moderator Note ** STOP ! Please stick to the topic **
Mufti my comment was not for you !
Rizk, One more guy is with him, Omar , so no need to correct his wording ...........
Mufti if you agree with Rizk ask the Mods to blacken your comment ............. it will save you some shame as well .........
Mufti, Remove the word POOR from your cheap comment ......... He is a SAINT for you , consider even higher respect for him ......... wake up man ......... it's shame on you first of all ...........
"We are a sick society"....not We but surely YOU !
This incident has brought out the picture of today's modern - lazy man { who demand transport } lost the personal strength even to support your loved ones ...... ...... Who spends 19 hrs looking at the screens ......... finds difficult to walk with his own weight of pizzas & pepsi ... ..... that's a reality .........
We are a sick society. This poor man walked for 10 kms and no one offered help. What a shame.
Did anyone over here disrespected the man or his spirit ?
If you cant read and understand the comments posted then please go elsewhere to have some peace of mind OR go Jump in a well and learn how to drown.....:)
Okay Brit, for before birth vehicle you may be thinking of a mom being taken a hospital for the delivery ......... no , it sin't that my pal ........... think 9 months back ........ !!
This Indian man did what was within his reach ...... we need to respect that spirit ............... I bow to him ........... If you start complaining against the hospital etc it means you have a habit to find faults even if there is a dead body in front of you ...........
Brit, By that time you would be facing the questioning ....... the accounts auditing will begin ......... so leave the worries of mode of travel to your relatives how they take the weight to the grave yard & put it underground .........
The thing which travels in those vehicles is caused by the food you have eaten ........ ........... be clear on that ........
Brit, You are different than your dead remains ....... you are a separate entity my dear friend ...... Please understand the truth ...... you are not your body ........ !
I thought life is like a chewing gum, you go on chewing it ! :)
Mods, Rizk has become a worst personal attacker, note it down please. He is not discussing the dead body and the Indian man ..............
Rizk, Life is a mirror, be ready to face the situation very soon you wish for me .......... !!
with my one eyebrow raised and other eye flickering and giving a blank stare to MM's comment.
I wish you get well soon MM, why don't you approach Rumailah Hospital ? :(
Brit, Leave the attachment to your body after the death atleast , Brit .............. .......
Rizk, Stop abusing yourself by being unable to comprehend my comment , discuss the subject at hand if you are able to do it ......... !
.
You always have this difficulty my pal ...... inability to comprehend ........ .
Actually that's not true .. Many of the ambulances and Hearses in Europe are made in Germany ;
Rizk, You had a liking for the cars now , that's why after you would breath your last you expect the same luxury ..... ! ...... You are mistaken my pal, that would never happen ........ ! ........... You body will go back to the stage where it was before you came into this world ............... ......
Your demand for a transport would not be valid ......... !!
Before birth & after death the vehicles we ride don't come from Japan or Germany ........ ......
MM are you high on something ?
Do you really know what you are talking, you are in your right sense ?
Don't comment for the sake of it or else keep your knowledge to yourself ...you need it more then us !
There should be no surprise for us, we know how we treat with live humans on the QL .......... we are well aware what would be done with our bodies if found by the hounds type mentality folks who may be around here too ...... in the guise of a human ........ no body knows .........
None of you you know another story where police officials break the legs of a corps to fit it into a sack so they would carry it from the police station to the hospital for the most mortem through the market ..... the sack was carried on a bamboo pole by two humans ........ in this modern world ........
As per later reports he didn't ask for a vehicle. Typical media spin.
How sad.. I feel for the poor man.. In his grief he needed support, but was not given it. The hospital management should be ashamed of themselves - they deserve to be sacked if this story is correct
"TV journalist found them and recorded their video"...how pathetic, instead of recording they would have carried the dead body in their vehicle and dropped them to the village...:(
For report these Journalist's goes to the any extend....:(
