Unsung Hero: Young boy of North Kashmir designs bulldozer
By Yasir Ashraf, Agence India Press
Even though this seems to be a crudely written report, nevertheless, what the boy has done is indeed commendable ; Imagine every kid pitching with his/her ideas in developing our Nation.
Srinagar: It had been a long time of waiting for the Indian troop convoy to pass. Two of us, photojournalist and me, then crossed to the other side through a road of cobblers, rivulet to the left, and snow all over the un-macadamized road. An orchid of apple trees that appeared as silhouetted cauliflowers with snow over their tops. On approaching the village, a villager received and greeted both of us.
As soon as the news spread that a group of journalists has come to interview Danish. Villagers start gathering in the courtyard of Ghulam Nabi Sheikh (father of Danish Nabi Sheikh) and buzzing sounds paling the atmosphere around.
Danishs father is a central government employee at the same vicinity of the village. He (Danish) has five other siblings three sisters and two brothers and he is the fifth one among his siblings.
Danish is in news these days because he has inventedor we can say is an innovator of a bulldozer. Danish is busy in adding a new part to his newly constructed machine. The part to fix to the machine is a syringe. Pliers are in his right hand and nail to fix the part. He did it.
He is ready to load the trucks with sand from his JCB (his model). He is sitting on a seat and using his both hind and fore limbs to operate the machine. He is driver, operator, innovator or manufacture of his machine.
Danish is a class six student an average pupil at the Little Buds School, who gets not more than 60 percent marks in his studies. But he is hero in his school, not only in school but also at his village Palpora.
A fifteen minute walk and a sharp left turn from the highway of Pattan- Hyderbeigh, north Kashmiris Baramullah district led us to this hamlet. A board of Rashtriya Rifles (Indian Army battalion) welcomes you with some words of proud and courage over it. Anyways we are in the middle of the village to endorse the innovation of Danish.
When Agence India Press reporter asked about the suction and pressure to Danish, his reply was simple, I dont know what about it. His machine contains the mechanisms which in Physics are called as suction the process of removing air or liquid from a space or container so that something else can be sucked into it or so that two surfaces can stick togetherpressurethe force produced by a particular amount of gas or liquid in a confined space or containerits very difficult to understand the operation of the machine. Then how do you know how this machine can work with these kinds of mechanisms? I always thought how I can make better and automatic way to operate the machine. It comes naturally to me and nothing else. Nobody taught me. Used syringes, drips, wood and tin this is what Danishs machine is composed of instead of engine, tires, steering and other parts.
From his child hood Danish had interest in doing something new with old things. We never understand what he was doing with old things. We sometimes stop him from doing such things, says Shakeela, mother of Danish.
But today Shakeelas eyes are brimming with proud not for his son but for herself also. After all he is my son; I love it when somebody talks about his innovations. I am really very glad to see he is in news these days, says Shakeela.
Danish does not know Einstein or Edison or Newton, the great inventors and scientists of the world but he only knows the spelling of science, which is enough for him.
Danish elaborates the working of his machine for this AIP News reporter. Right foot controls right and left movement of the crane neck, left foot controls forward and backward movements, left hand controls the dipper (a large piece of equipment with one or several curved blades, pulled by a tractor or by a crane. It is used for digging and turning over soil) movement to grab the material into it and right hand controls the up and down movement of the crane neck, explains Danish.
Danish tells Agence India Press that before using water and mobile, he had also tried cooking oil but only water worked well to produce pressure so that it would function without hindrance.
He has also other plans like he wanted to make an Airplane or motor launcher. But for all this I need money and material, which at the moment I do not have, Danish said.
Counties like America and other western nations adopt these kinds of children and make full use of them for new inventions and innovations. However, In Kashmir no such thing exists. The aim of the 12 year Danish is to become an inventor, his words and his aim is simple as Danish, I want to become an engineer.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has announced a skill program oriented where government would provide training to the students particularly youth of the Jammu and Kashmir to start their own projects or entrepreneurship centers. What about people like Danish who are gifted with skills and both with innovations in their brains? Does government have any schemes for them?
May be Danish does not need government or its schemes. He has already become hero of his village or someday he will be hero of Kashmir.
As we were sipping tea, his mother (Shakeela) asked him to go for tuition. Danish picked up his bag and slang it over his shoulder, and soon he disappeared around a corner, a few yards of his home, in a nearby apple orchid which might lead to his teacher. (AIP News)
