How will you draw this man’s humane and respectful treatment of an old Freedom Fighter in his mid-eighties?
While waiting at a Bank Officer’s desk, I saw a lanky old man walking in with his need to open a Savings Bank Account to present a Government cheque expiring soon, he received in his honor as an Indian National Army Soldier. He presented his old school certificates to reveal his identity and told him that the Account will be used only once and that too related to this cheque. In the normal way any Bank Officer of the present genre would have him driven out. But this officer patiently heard him, asked details and handed over an application form and asked one of his assistants to help him in filling the application. I was deeply moved when wiping out his tears the officer asked me to observe the plight of freedom fighters who live unrecognized while we enjoy the fruits of freedom and our leaders go on draining our nation itself. I did not remain there long, but I am sure the poor old man got his job done and that too with great honour. How will you react to this noble gesture?
Mostly,people are still kind and helpful … and I’m glad this old gentleman happened to meet such a person. Thank you for sharing this moment, it was beautiful.
