Rahul The Doctor

There was once a boy called Rahul, he came from a very poor family from one of the villages in India. He lived in a humble mud hut, his mother was the servant of the rich landlord. Everyday his mother Radha would go to work and make food for Rahul and his father Krishnan who worked on the land for the Landlord. They did not have much money all they could afford was one meal a day.

Rahul used to dream of owning a car and driving it, like the Rich land lord. Rahul did not even have a chance to ride in a car, much less owning one. But this humble boy from a humble family had ambition.He went to the local village school and loved to study. He longed to become a doctor and help the poor people in the village. He knew his parents could not afford to pay for his studies.So he decided that even though he was from a poor low caste family, there were scholarships the Indian Government were giving to intelligent low caste children to study.

Rahul decided that he wanted that scholarship and study well, build a nice house for his parents and provide them with food three times a day and not only that he wanted to help the poor village people who could not afford going to the doctor and buy expensive medication.

So Rahul studied hard and when he was in the 10th grade, he got the highest marks in his class and got the first rank and received the scholarship he had been waiting for.He decided to study in Chennai, but Rahul being the village boy had one problem, his English was not as good as the other students. So he went to university and spoke to one of his professors who was amazed at this brilliant low caste boy who was studying in the university . So the professor became Rahul’s mentor, The professor named Ramen decided to teach Rahul English at his house every evening as he saw great potential in Rahul. Ramen the professor had a beautiful daughter called Sita who was two years younger than Rahul.Rahul was eighteen and Sita was sixteen.

Soon love blossomed between these tow young people. The professor though being high caste knew if Rahul married Sita, he would keep his only precious daughter happy.So Rahul, passed medical school with distinction and a few years later Rahul and Sita got married. Rahul was a low caste Dalit and Sita was a High Caste Brahmin.

But my dear friends, trends change, life changes, Time changes. The negative boundaries put forth by the ancient ancestors, of the rich and the poor, high caste and low caste, came together as one in marriage between Rahul and Sita.

Radha and Krishnan were so proud of their son. Rahul and Sita went back to Rahul’s village where Rahul built a huge hospital to help the villagers, and Ramen the father of Sita who defied society’s norms and restrictions to let his daughter marry a wonderful low caste man was very happy as well.

Rahul had two wishes one that his parents live in a nice house and second that they are able to have three meals a day. The hard work and sacrifice they put for their son to study was accomplished.

Dear reader it is time to rebel about the boundaries put forth by people for people. Every one is valuable to God. It is time for rich and poor to come together, High Caste and Low Caste to come together, Black and White to come together.

It is time our world loves and appreciates every human being as a blessing from God. Next time you see someone different give them a smile and support them, whatever gender they are. The world is changing and people in this world are changing and evolving . It is time for change.
