Whose hearts have not been touched to see a man pull a rickshaw on a hot day while carrying a baby? This is really happened in India. This man caring for his baby because his wife died after giving birth and no one is willing to take care of the baby.

This man’s name is Bablu Jatav, 38 years. He was blessed with a baby girl named Damini after married for 15 years with his wife, Shanti. Mr. Bablu said that he was very happy to be blessed a put but he kept a deep sadness because his wife died shortly after birth. “Shanti died shortly after giving birth at the hospital on September 20, 2014”, said Bablu. Since that, no one was willing to take care of my daughter, so I was looking after her, even when I pull a rickshaw,” he added.


Bablu is a daily rickshaw man in Bharatpur city. He did not have any brother or sister who can take care his baby, so the only way is taking care of his daughter while working. Bablu holds his baby with cloth wrapped around his neck. He was forced to do it, even in the middle of a very hot day. It is very worrying, especially for very young Damini. The heat of the sun and road conditions make it had to be rushed to hospital Jaipur some time ago. The baby suffered from septicemia, anemia and acute dehydration. Fortunately, the baby’s condition improved after treatment. The news quickly spread in India, so many offers of assistance received by Bablu. It is probable that the local Indian government is processing a way to help care for the baby. Hopefully the aids come soon, so this baby girl got better treatment.
