New Delhi: Thirteen years old ‘differently-able’ girl Halima of Shahpur (Muzaffar Nagar, U. P.), born on August 9, 1995, in a poor family of Kesarwa, was congenitally devoid of both hands. But as soon as he grew up her determination overpowered her disability. Now she is writing a new record of ambition by writing her papers with the help of her feet.

Halima’s father Momin told, “She had learnt writing with feet before going to school” Halima dexterously holds pen or brush between her leg fingers and writes and paints as easily as a normal child would do. She can even sew cloths with her feet.

 

Halima studied till class third at the village school. Then she studied in a Madrasa for next two years. But poverty stopped her education. After the establishment of Kasturba Gandhi Residential School in the locality a new hope kindled in her. Two years earlier, she was admitted to class sixth which she passed with high percentage. 

 

At her level, Halima has good command over Hindi, English and Sanskrit beside Urdu language. She can recite Qur’anic verses fluently. The handless girl is also appreciated for her skill in home decoration and painting work. Some say it is out of Allah’s special favour for her, others say it is her dedication and indomitable faith in human potential.

Sare Jahan Se Accha

Hindustan Hamara
In 1905 more than 100 years from today, when Iqbal was a lecturer at the Government College, Lahore he was invited by his student Lala Hardayal to preside over a function. Instead of making a speech, Iqbal sang Sare Jahan Se Accha Hindustan Hamara in his style. Iqbal compiled this poem in praise of India and the poem preaches the communal harmony that had unfortunately started ceasing in India by that time. Each and every word in this poem depicts an Indian’s respect and love for the motherland and the values the Indian society inherited for long...Read Full
