Our ears are used to news of protests and struggles held by political parties,unions etc against decisions of government and general issues.Such protests are held in name of public interest but mostly for their own vested interests.Here is a story of victory of unity over injustice.It is about a battle fought between a handful of people against perversion of power and political influence.
The story happened in an ordinary Government School in Calicut,Kerala; N.G.O Quarters Higher Secondary School which was not a much recognised school until 2006.It was in 2006 that Mr.Georgekutty stepped on to the school as Principal changing the whole history of the school.With his awful determination and sheer dedication towards the institution,the school stepped into the path of progress.Of coarse the teachers also fostered the progress.Within one year the percentage of pass outs increased from 15% to 75%.The school is facilitated by a superb computer lab attached with air conditioner.We know the importance of computer in this e -world.Now it is a school which impart knowledge to many students from the weaker section of society and light a lamp of hope in them.When the school is on its way for further progress an illegal order to transfer the Principal and one of the sincere staff was issued.This was done through political influence on the ground of personal grievance towards the Principal.Staff and parents united together to defend this order.
Parents under the leadership of Parents Teachers Association President Mr.Babu supported the Principal.Students also joined them.Parents from different sections of society sat infront of the school neither spurting out slogans nor names but silently for a common purpose,for a common good with one heart.
Most of them were women including house wives and those who worked on daily wages.It was a protest nurtured by love and understanding.They sat there from morning to evening each day and this went on for a week.Legal movements were going on against the order.Ultimately power bent before unity.
Whenever you find someone victimised to unjust, support him because tomorrow it may be you in his place.
