Dashrath Manjhi
Dashrath Manjhi (c. 1934 – 17 August 2007), also known as "Mountain Man", was a poor labourer in Gehlaur village, near Gaya in Bihar, India, who carved a path through a 360 ft long, 30 ft wide and 25 ft high hillock using only a hammer and chisel.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tax rebate to Manjhi biopic raises eyebrows )〕 After 22 years of work, Dashrath shortened travel between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya town from 55km to 15km.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://scroll.in/article/742669/dashrath-manjhi-the-man-who-moved-a-mountain-one-rock-at-a-time-and-inspired-filmmakers )〕
==Early life and work==
Dashrath Manjhi ran away from his home at a young age and worked at Dhanbad's coal mines. He returned to his village and married Phalguni Devi. While crossing Gehlour hills to bring him lunch, she slipped and seriously injured herself that eventually led to her death. Manjhi was deeply disturbed and that very night decided to carve a path through the Gehlour hills so that his village could have easier access to medical attention. 〔 He carved a path 360-feet-long (110 m), 25-feet-deep (7.6 m) in places and 30-feet-wide (9.1 m) to form a road〔Location of cut-through: 〕 through the rocks in Gehlour hill. He quoted that, '' When I started hammering the hill, people called me a lunatic but that steeled my resolve.''
He completed the work in 23 years (1960–1983). This road reduced the distance between the Atri and Wazirganj sectors of the Gaya district from 55 km to 15 km. Though mocked for his efforts, he has made life easier for people of Gehlour village. Although he had cut a protected mountain, which is an offence under Indian wildlife protection act, his exemplary determination remains an inspiration.〔 Later, Manjhi said, ''Though most villagers taunted me at first, there were quite a few who lent me support later by giving me food and helping me buy my tools.''〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Be A Light to the World )〕
