Bantwal: Sons leave father in forest, refuse to take him back

Daijiworld Media Network – Bantwal (VM)

Bantwal, Mar 13: In a bizarre incident, two sons abandoned their father in Charmadi forest on Sunday March 10.

Thaniyappa Kulal, a resident of Mittakodi in Peraje was a daily wager. However, for the past few months he was unable to work as he was injured by a fall from a small bridge.

Hence, he stayed back home without working and used to irritate the family members after consuming alcohol. Fed up with this, the two sons planned to abandon father and left him in Charmadi forest on Sunday.

The sons with the help of a neighbor took their father to Charmadi in a car and returned without him.

Thaniyappa Kulal was left wandering in the forest in search of a way out.

Meanwhile, Thaniyappa's nephews when returning home in a lorry. When they came to know of their uncle's helplessness, they brought him back home from the forest.

However, the two sons refused to accept him back and said that it was impossible for them to look after him.

A case has been registered in the Vittal police station.

    A very inhuman act by the sons!!! Leaving aside holy books, religion, philosophy, etc. if one comes to the ground reality and puts oneself in their shoes the thinking will be completely different. A family which is having a hand to mouth existence by doing daily wage labor has a very tiny cushion or allowance to absorb any shocks!! It was a last ditch attempt on their part to get away on what they took as an troublemaker!!

    Quietly abandoning so called "unwanted" humans is very common in metros like Mumbai even with well-to-do families! So many old people are abandoned on railway stations, bus depots, and other places!! The very well off who can afford to pay in lacs throw their parents in old age homes once and for all never bothering even to contact them! Is it not a more respected and sophisticated style of abandoning parents!! I would request all to see a special episode on the same subject conducted by Aamir Khan in Satyameva Jayate where the several reasons of why it is happening were discussed with experts!!

    I feel ashamed to tell there are so many people wearing white clothes and showing all the niceness to fool the Society who treat their parents like chappals!!

    Ultimately it is a situation of the 'times' we live in and the circumstances that one has to consider! Somebody has rightly quoted "Man is a slave of his time and circumstances"!!

    I loved Lancy Moras's comments/ideology, but with an open offer for help on his part, that sounds very down to earth and humane than just quoting some arcane holy book quoting, stone age experiences, and then judging and condemning!!! We need more of such men like Lancy whom God has given the privilege and the means and the thoughts to offer help!!!

    Live and let live!!!!

    The elderly can be seen as burdens rather than blessings. Sometimes we are quick to forget the sacrifices our parents made for us when they are in need of care themselves. Instead of taking them into our homes—whenever that is safe and feasible—we put them in old age homes, sometimes against their will. We may not value the wisdom they have acquired through living long lives, and we can discredit their advice as “outdated.”

    When we honor and care for our parents, we are serving God as well.

    Holy Bible Says
    My child, help your father in his old age,
    and do not grieve him as long as he lives
    even if his mind fails, be patient with him
    because you have all your faculties do not despise him.
    For kindness to a father will not be forgotten,
    and will be credited to you against your sins
    in the day of your distress it will be remembered in your favour
    like frost in fair weather, your sins will melt away.

    I agree with this It is said in Islam that Heaven is in the feet of mother and father is door of heaven. and God says don't even tell a bad word like UFF.it is the smallest word.parents are parents only once we loose we can not get them back

    If we go back 15-20 years we can't find such inhuman cases @ least in our two districts.It is height of inhumanity.For me i can't abandon my old dog in CHARMADY FOREST.He may habitual drunker but they can't say that he is not aged father.This family need urgent counselling and let both sons prepare worst from their children in this world.Such culture is unheard of and alien to Mangalorean cultures.May god give wisdom for these two unlucky children.

    It seems to me that leaving him alone in forest is an alternate name for killing. Old age home for parents!? then those who have kids they should suggest their children any old age home which they like to book for their parents now only. "Your Lord has ordained that you shall worship none other than Him and that you be kind to your parents. Should one of them, or both, attain to old age in your care, never say 'ugh' to them or scold them but always speak to them with reverence, and spread over them humbly the wings of your tenderness, and say: 'My Lord, bestow Your grace on them, even as they cherished and reared me when I was a child'." (Al-Quran 1723-24)

    Suresh Saligrama, bangalore,

    To be honest with you, believe me I am one of seven who disagreed your comment and sullied thinking about a father, an old aged poor injured man, a parent, a male who was the first man to these kind of filthy minded swindler sons. Just because he is drinking he is shown hell on earth ? You tell me would God say "YES" to thier this kind of hideous proceed ? Suresh tell me please a day will come and your sons will grow and implement this action on you, can you be able to stomach it ? I am sorry I muscularly condemn this kind of idiotic act against awesome hallowed parenthood. It may indeed destroy your deep sleep if you think of it in a Hevaenly way my friend. We all prefer Heaven and not the Hell after we wind up our life on this eart. think about it for a minute out of your 24 hours of today.

    If some relative of this old Father are ready to budge him to the Bantwal bordering any one of the orphanage, I will pledge his stay price tag and will make sure that he will not touch alcohol. I will be reached though my email bobbymoras@sa.ey.com


    God bless all beloved parents on this plannet.

    Dear Lancy
    I am part agreement with Suresh Saligrama, bangalore.

    I do condemn the act of the sons but more strongly I do condemn the act of drunkenness of the father.

    Lancy, u have mentioned to Suresh, saying do u agree if the same treatment is done by his sons to Suresh in his old age. My counter argument is 'thou u sow thou u will reap". No one knows, the abandoned father, when he was young, how he has treated his own father. The time for him recollect his own deeds.

    Ask the old aged people, when they are young, how they have treated their own parents?

    Alchol is one of the reason spoils family.

    Though this looks and sounds inhuman act on behalf of the sons, the father in his drunken stupor must have been really irritating and troublesome forcing them to do this. However, father is a father, they should have taken some steps to make him stop drinking find out who was supplying the liquor while he is unable to work and tackle that person. The frustration leading to drink is a stupid excuse. A person wants to drink will drink anyway, today I am happy that's why I drink. yesterday I had a tough time with my supervisor so to forget I drank, I am not able to give a good life to my famil that's why I drink ( in the bargain making their life still worse) well excuses after excuses. I wish Alcohol is banned entirely so the dependents of drunkards can live in peace.

    The social service organizations like lions club, rotary club and the like are having campaigns against smoking. But in our country among the poor drinking alcohol been a social evil since many years. Why cant these organizations take up campaigns to eradicate alcoholism among the poor?!!!

    Even “Vana Devi” too refused to keep him in the forest hence he was returned to his house. What to say, to blame these two Sons, morally correct but incorrect in principle and to blame this drunkard morally incorrect but correct in principle

    Rehabilitate him with some NGO like Alcoholic Anonymous. Heavy drunakrds can be a nuisance but sons should never forget to being responsible towards father. Leaving him alone in forest shows ignorance of todays society towards old.

    Is it the tradition or culture
    Be it of any religion!
    Selfish nature has engulfed so many!
    But most sad part is if any old age home or Ashram volunteers to take care, some will BRAND them that they converting!
