2023 TCAF-Fun Fair《Manhji – The Mountain Man》

2023-07-01 - 2023-07-01

This story is based on the Indian version of the true story of the Foolish Old Man Moving Mountains. Dashrath Manjhi's wife died due to the lack of timely medical treatment, as the road to Bihar was over 70 kilometers away. Determined to prevent others from suffering the same fate, Dashrath single-handedly carved a 110-meter-long road in the nearby mountains from 1960 to 1982. Initially ridiculed by the villagers, Dashrath persisted and completed the excavation work. His contribution reduced the distance between Atri and Gaya in the Jehanabad region from 55 kilometers to 15 kilometers. Dashrath passed away on August 17, 2007, and the government held a state funeral for him. This adapted story revolves around Dashrath's family of three and, through the plot, introduces the concepts of differentiation (approximating slopes) and integration (area calculation) in a visually understandable way by removing mathematical symbols for children to comprehend.
