In what is indeed becoming a rarity in this dog eat dog world; a 14 year old daring and doughty youth put his life on the line while successfully rescuing three woman from the swirling and raging waters of Mother Ganga (Ganges River)........
Muslim Khan; 14; a shepherd by profession was blissfully tending to his herd of sheep at Kadarganj in Uttar Pradesh's Kasganj District (on the banks of the river Ganga) late on Friday afternoon when he was confronted with the blood curdling sight of five women from his nondescript village being swept away by the swirling waters of the revered river........
According to Khan; he saw the three women and two teenaged girls stepping into the then dormant river to make their way to a watermelon orchard lying on the opposite bank of the river.........
Within the batting of an eyelid; the river was transformed into a raging fury and Khan who saw the five people from his village struggling to cope with the swirling and engorged waters that engulfed them jumped into the virtual whirlpool without a second thought and successfully managed to pull out the three women by hanging onto their hair and dragging them out from the midst of their watery grave.........
Khan's only regret was that he was unable to save the two teenaged girls who were swept away by the raging currents and says that he would surely do the same if accorded a second opportunity in due course of time.........
Nazeeba Khan Zeenat; the MLA from Patiyali constituency (Kasganj lies under the constituency's jurisdiction) showered wholesome and heartfelt praise and plaudits on the brave youth and also mentioned that she would surely be recommending Muslim Khan's name for the much coveted and ultra prestigious National Bravery Awards.........
Khan Zeenat also said that she would leave no stone unturned in her efforts to ensure that the indomitable 14 year old received his fair share of glory and recognition at the state level as he had selflessly put his life and limb on the line in an effort to save the lives of five people who were only known to him as fellow residents of his village and also that his act was even more praiseworthy as not too many people put others before self in today's self serving times...........
Here's hoping and praying that the young and chivalrous Muslim Khan is not only showered with all the awards and recognition he so richly deserves; but also that some enterprising film maker encapsulates and immortalises his sterling deed on celluloid for posterity so that the same could be a role model for years/decades to come..........
