An Inspirational Story of Villager Girl

Among the greatest sins, one is of deceiving the common people through creating false illusions in their minds. The proves would easily be found out by just glancing a single time over the history of mankind. The history and the past of Homo sapiens are full of wars; wars between nations, wars between tribes, wars between countries and so on. So such a war too occurred in a small village which was around 50 miles away from city.

So there was a village, lacking almost everything that is fundamental to life; there was no dispensary, no hospital, no college and no justice. It consists about two hundred houses made from mud and the only two places were made of bricks. One was a higher secondary school and the other was the house of a nefarious man who was ruling all over the village. The people of village were almost illiterate and had no sense of education at all. They rarely let allow their children to get admission in school.

The master who was teaching in the school was a voracious reader and he had a room in his house full of books. And the quality which differentiates master from other people was that he strongly believed in the equality when it comes to the rights of men and women. Whole village was against the education of girls except the master. And the only girl studying in school was his daughter, Sana. And the master tried his every possible way to let everyone knows about the importance of education and specially their basic rights which they were devoid of since many years. In starting, I mentioned a war that occurred in village. And that war started when the master was being accused of corrupting the minds of young which the ruler of village does not want. So the war gets started between the ruler and the master. The ruler stared believing that our village does not need any person who provoke our villagers and spread the knowledge about their rights because once the villagers get their consciousness there will not be any ruler. And the ruler was greatly tired from the master and his steadfast behavior. Finally he planned for an assault to make the master furious.

It was cool night with moonlight over the sky when master was conversing with her only daughter in the yard of his house. As Sana asked her father “Father, as you are trying every possible way to let our villagers understand about essential of education but......" There appears sounds of rocks being thrown over masters house and the whole family was intimidated by the villagers who done this all on the command of their ruler. The very next day, Sana's mother earnestly requests her father to leave the town as they were not safe anymore. Upon her much insisting, they all agreed and left their village with a promise of making Sana educated and will come back one day to save the village from brutality, injustice and cruelty.

After their leaving the life of people in village got worsened as the ruler started doing every brutal act possible. And this continues for some years and people got weak with passage of time. They started regretting about what they did to Master and his family. They started regretting that they had not made their children learn at school. They felt deeply the grief of being illiterate. They were devoid of all basic rights and justice. Their own lands, houses and every property was been abducted by the ruler and they felt a dire need of a person who can save them from the fire of brutality spreading in their village.

As the time goes on and exactly after ten years there came a vehicle in their village which was announcing something and asking people to gather beside the school in the evening. As the evening time comes people starts gathering there and were puzzled to see an educated girl there with words " You people might not recognize me the way as you had not recognized your rights; the right of speech, the right of thought, the right of information, the right of religion and all the rights which God bestowed upon us. I am Sana, the daughter of the master whom you people intimated years ago and utter sadness I am saying that he had left this world after being exiled from village. But I had taken a promise from father to save you from this injustices and brutalities".

Sana, after her father died became the most famous lawyer of the country and with great confidence she made the ruler of the village stand behind the bars. It was not the only village she made free but also others too. She set up all the facilities for the villagers and started fighting for the rights of women who were being abused badly. And the most important thing she did was that she broke the wrong illusion of people, that girls education is not important, which they have believed for years.
