Year 2004, district - Kamrup, Assam
Ratul Chandra Rabha (as
Ratan Viswas) and Rituparna Boro (as
Arvind Das) are students of 8th and 10th class. One day suddenly 2
unknown men (as
Chiru and Gopi) carrying pistol and grenade in their hand
entered into the school campus and fires on a teacher. Teacher and students of
the school chased them who were later identified as the ULFA (
United Liberation Front of Assam) shown as
ALG later on.
The time militant attacked, Ratul and Rituparna did not scared of them and
chased them upto 3 kilometers. The chasing turns the nabbing of one of those two
invasive who killed their teacher.
Year 2005
Ratul and Rituparna get Rashtrapati Award (
National Bravery Award) for chasing the militants who killed their school teacher all open and
subsequently one of the militants was caught.
Event both kid who got highest national honour, after few years of the incident,
they both were forced to leave their study due to poverty.
Year 2012
Today they both Ratul(20) and Rituparna(22) are below poverty line and are daily
wage earner who earns hardly 120 rupee in a day. Ratul's views about the award
is that the award has no meaning for him because his life condition is still as
tough as it was before a time. They were expecting to have government job in
Indian army or state police department after getting bravery award but they got
nothing. They appealed CM of Assam Mr. Tarun Gogoi and other politicians for
help but did not get any positive response.
