Bhola Prasad used to live with his family at a village in Setidevi VDC, Kathmandu. He was very conservatiave.He was narrow minded and discriminate among rich and poor or different castes.Seeing such behaviours and neighbours were worried.Therefore,nobody liked him in the society.
Once, Bhola Prasad was found unconscious on the road. His neighbour Dharma Bahadur saw him and brought him to the hospital for treatment. According to the doctor’s advice, he needed blood. His blood test showed that he had O positive blood. As the villager’s were requested to donate him blood group, they were ready but, their blood didn’t match with his blood. Dharma bahadur’s blood matched to him. Dharmr bahadur donated blood happily. From his family and villager’s Bhola Prasad knew that his life was saved by the blood of Dharma Bahadur. He saved this life from the person whom he discriminated (dominated) a lot. After that he was ashamed of his ill manner e.g. discriminating the castes, unsociability, hating women and disabled. He, thereafter, lived in friendship addressing all with the filling of brotherhood and equality amongst castes.
Bhola Prasad went to Dharma Bahadur’s house and asked for a glass of water and drank it. Shedding tears from his eyes in repentance, he asked for forgiveness. He realized that he was putting the plait of religious and cultural orthodoxy on his eyes. He understood that the development of an individual, society and nation is possible only when all are united.
He them understood that, “people can be great by heart and not by caste.” He understood that mental torture to all is like a torture to one’s own self. He understood that,after being born, a person can be superior by his deeds and good behaviour. He promised that he would not behave negatively against anyone and he went home.
