FROM MONIYA TO GANDHI

October First 2023

Champak

In his childhood, Mahatma Gandhi was lovingly called Moniya. He lived with his family in Porbandar. Those days, a drama group was performing a play based on the life of King Harishchandra, known for his love for the truth, near their house. Moniya went to watch the play.

FROM MONIYA TO GANDHI

 
 

In the play, Vishwamitra, a Brahmin, asks King Harishchandra for his entire kingdom in charity, and the king promises to give it. After that, Vishwamitra asked the king for some gold coins as payment for being a Brahmin.

But Harishchanra had already donated his kingdom to Vishwamitra. So the King had to earn the gold coins through labour.

King Harishchandra then sold himself along with his family to collect gold coins to pay Vishwamitra. He started working as a labourer, burning dead bodies.

His queen, Taramati, also started working hard in the town along with their son. They faced days of struggle and difficulties.

One day, Vishwamitra met Harishchandra again and said, "Your Majesty, you have given me the kingdom in charity. But if you go back on your promise, I will return the entire kingdom to you without any troubles will end! All argument. All your you have to do is say it!"

Thoughts raced in King Harishchandra's mind.

The Park Came Alive

The Koi fish living in Sangam Pond of Munia Park had lately become very sad. No one came near their pond anymore, while earlier, the place used to be full of morning walkers. In the evenings, women and children would gather there. The park always remained lively with people’s chatter and laughter.

GRAVE MISTAKES

“Here’s your new school,” Dad said as he pulled over at the gate of Silver Pines School. Courtesy of his dad’s frequent job transfers, Omi is always the new student. This was his fourth school in the last eight years. Standing at the gates of his new school, clutching his bag, he tried not to look nervous. His family had just moved to the town a week ago, and everything still smelled new—new books, new uniform, new trouble.
