Dasrath Manjhi

Not unlike Bihar's 'mountain man' Dasrath Manjhi - who spent 22 years to build a 360-foot-long road - a man in Odisha has single-handedly been moving mountains to construct a 15 kilometre road - all so he can send his sons to schools.

Former Bihar Chief Minister and Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) leader Jitan Ram Manjhi today watched 'Manjhi - The Mountain Man,' a biopic that celebrates the feat of commoner Dasrath Manjhi, who carved a way out of a mountain after labouring for over 20 years.

The film is based on the true story of Dasrath Manjhi, the labourer who single-handedly carved a path through a mountain

Bhagirath Manjhi and Basanti Devi, son and daughter-in-law of a man who single-handedly carved out a road by cutting through a hill in Bihar, are living in abject poverty.
