Re: Stories from the past
My grand-dad did something like that too, he helped a lot of people cross the border too. Mashallah for people like this. Omg my family has so many stories, it’s crazy. My eldest sister’s trying to write a book about it cos she knew so much that my late gran told her. Just really interesting stories.
-My grandad fought in WW2 and** lost his younger brother in the jungle, and refused to come home cos their mum told him to look after the younger brother. He looked for him all the way through the war and managed to find him (I think in Burma) at the end of the War. The younger brother is still alive today.**
-My mum’s mother was apparently a great beauty (I know, they all are, right!) and my mum’s dad had to really fight in order to let her parents marry her - cos she was the only girl in the family after about 5 or 6 boys. They finally took her in a doli from her house to his, and the one bit we all LOVE hearing about is how she made them stop the baraat half-way so she could get down and read namaz. I’ve never met her cos she passed away while my mum was young, but wow, woulda loved to have met her.
-One of my great uncles ran away with a girl from another village, and ran to our village. The men of that village chased them back, and my grand-dad (who was the found of my parent’s village) stood at the ‘entrance’ of the village, drew a line with his foot and dared them to cross the line to get their larki back. They all went home
Oh and there’s plenty of other stuff, but I don’t wanna hog the thread!
great deeds of great peoples !when i read and listen to stories of our ancestors whom we call narrow minded and backward I feel how shallow we are as compared to them…he found his brother great end to great story:k:
