Indian doc vows to follow his heart across borders

Vijay Upadhyay
Agra. Marriages may be made in heaven but humans have a role to play. Take the case of a Mathura-based doctor, who had vowed to remain a bachelor for life. But, life took a turn when he fell in love with a Nepali girl, whom he had rescued from a local brothel.

However, life is not always easy going. The doctor's wedding dreams are on the verge of getting shattered.

The reason: The girl's parents are unwilling to agree to the marriage saying that the doctor was a foreigner. They want their daughter to get married to a Nepali.

Nevertheless, the doctor has once again made a pledge, this time to marry the girl of his dreams even if that meant crossing the border into Nepal for the purpose.

"I would try my best to marry her," the doctor has reportedly said.

According to Reeta Shukla, station officer, women's cell, Maiya, the said Nepali girl was abducted by some Agra-based pimps from Kathmandu back in April this year. Subsequently, she was brought to Agra and sold to a 'Madam' in a local brothel. "She was forced into the flesh trade," she said.

Infact, it was only in the first week of June that a Mathura-based doctor Manish Mishra (name changed), a regular visitor to the brothel, came across Maiya (name changed) and seeing her plight, decided to get her rescued at all cost.

"It was this doctor who informed the Agra superintendent of police that the girl was being held captive in the brothel, following which, the police conducted a raid in the brothel and rescued six Nepali girls, including Maiya," she said.

Following her rescue, Maiya was held in the women's cell until his parents arrived from Nepal and it was in this cell that Mishra proposed to marry her, surprising even his own family members, who could not believe that their son had finally agreed to marriage.

But Maiya told him to wait till her parents arrived on which, he readily agreed.

"When Maiya's parents arrived in Agra to take back their daughter, they flatly refused to get their daughter married to a foreigner, claiming that their daughter will get married in October to a Nepali youth and took her back to Nepal," Shukla said.

However, this love-struck doctor has not given up yet and has decided to follow his heart even if that means going to Nepal to bring Maiya back to India.

Woman torched to death by inlaws on International Women's Day in India

AGRA.               It could serve as a well-placed slap in the face of the the groups of so-called women's rights activists who all too recently celebrated International Women’s Day, fervently praising the contribution made by women to the society and vowing to prevent violence against the feminine gender comfortably ensconced in luxurious clubs and hotels.    While the world was busy celebrating women’s day, a young girl was murdered in cold-blood, torched to death by her in-laws in Kayamganj town of Farrukhabad district of Uttar Pradesh, alongwith a 6-month fetus inside her, just three years after marriage.    Two weeks have passed since the grisly murder but the local police appears to be in no hurry to catch the absconding in-laws who doused the girl in kerosene and left her to burn and die on the street, making good their escape while the locals awaited for the police to arrive. Meanwhile, the victim’s mother Archana Sharma has suffered from a strok

My views on Libya, India and the permanent SC seat

On Wednesday, the British government 'de-recognized' the Gaddafi government and decided that it was in the interest of democracy to recognize the Libyan rebels as the only legal representative of the Libyan people. Immediately after that, the British Police entered the Libyan embassy in London and forced the remaining Libyan diplomats out of UK. France has already been parachuting modern weaponry, arms and ammunition to the Libyan rebel strongholds and both France and the United States have recognized the rebels as the legal Libyan representative power. While I am not a fan of Gaddafi or his regime in any way or form but I am equally disappointed in NATO's tactics and the double standards being played by the western powers in the Arab world. Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein had been two sore patches in the otherwise near-sweeping 'western conquest' of the Arab world and its oil. Only now, when a group of disenchanted Libyans, trained and provided for by wes

Vishal Sharma / Agra December 29, 2008, 0:00 IST Govardhan Udyog plans to use cowdung to produce particle board. Faced with the task of developing environment-friendly technology for industry due to guidelines issued by the Supreme Court, entrepreneurs in Agra are realising the cost-effective potential of such technologies and innovations. Govardhan Udyog is one such unit which plans to use a non-conventional raw material, cowdung, to produce particle board and pharmaceutical products. The unit was inaugurated this week on the Agra-Delhi national highway near the Mathura refinery, about 55 km from Agra. Company sources said the basic raw material used in the manufacture of particle board will be cow dung. This will perhaps make it the first particle board manufacturing facility using cowdung as the raw material. Govardhan Udyog Managing Director SK Mittal said particle boards were emerging as a viable alternative in designing office furniture and automation products in the country as c
