Biography Of Chandraprabha Saikiani

Born on 16 March Chandraprabha Saikiani was a  social reformer from Assam who tried to remove the taboos faced by herself and other women of her days. She fought to make the formal education available for girls. Chandraprabha Saikiani born and brought up in Doisingari Village in Kamrup District. Her journey of a lifetime to rid society of all the taboos against women that prevailed during those days started when she and her sister Rajaniprabha did not mind wading through mud to attend a school that only had boys.

 During her school days, she realized that girls had to fight a battle to receive an education as good as that received by boys. Therefore she decided to gather other girls from her village and teach them that she had learned during the day at school. Her effort greatly impressed Nilkanta Barua(School Sub-Inspector). She and her sister were awarded a scholarship to study at Nagaon Mission School. There she made the best of her school education. 

 In the year 1925, Chandraprabha Saikiani challenged the prevailing custom of women sitting behind a bamboo screen in public meetings. In the same year Assam Sahitya Sabha was held, their she delivered a very powerful speech and demanded the removal of the bamboo screen that was placed between men and women. 

 In the year 1926, at her initiative the first women's organization, "Assam Pradeshik Mahila Samiti" was formed. She was greatly affected by the deep-rooted caste system in India. In her own state, Assam, she took matters in her own hands. One of such radical steps was to fight for the entry of everyone, irrespective of caste, gender, and class into the famous Hayagriva Madhava Temple at Hajo.

 In the year 1921, she met Mahatma Gandhi and join the freedom movement. She was imprisoned thrice. Nothing could dampen her indomitable patriotic spirit. Whenever she saw any injustice, her rebellious spirit rose to the occasion.

 This great freedom fighter spread the message of her mission also through a number of books. The Padma Shri was conferred upon her a few days after her death in 1972. Apart from this great honor, she was also remembered with a commemorative postal stamp in 2002.

LOUIS PASTEUR SUMMARY

Born on December 27, 1822 Louis Pasteur was a French Biologist. He is renowned for his discoveries of the principles of Vaccination. This story is about Louis Pasteur, He found a cure for rabies, which was considered as one of the deadliest diseases of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Lets’s Read the story
One Day when Louis Pasteur was playing with his friends. Suddenly he saw a man strangely running towards him. He was very frightened, Louis asked him the reason for his such behavior. The man replied that “Someone has been bitten by a mad wolf from the mountain”. Louis understood that the mad wolf was suffering from rabies.
If you don’t know, Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals. Animals with this viral disease get  Mad. This viral is can be spread to humans also if human beings are bitten by animals with rabies.
Many years later, after that incident. Louis Pasteur started experimenting to discover the vaccine for this disease. He started his experiments on rabbits. In his experiments, he treated rabbits by injecting them with the same virus and he succeeded in curing them. After this successful experiment on rabbits, he thought to try it on human beings. And that chance came on 6 July 1885, when a boy was returning from school was bitten by a Mad dog. Her mother came to Pasteur to seek help She started crying. Louis Pasteur answered her that he is ready to give everything he had.
As the vaccine which was used on rabbits was successful but Pasteur was not sure about the outcome of the same vaccine when used on human beings. He thought that if it works it will benefit the entire human race in the future. Thinking this he made up his mind to take the risk. He injected the boy with the virus. After injecting the virus Pasteur Kept him under observation, the result which came was very surprising, the boy responded to Pasteur’s treatment. It was a huge achievement for Pasteur and a great discovery for the human race. This new method of treatment of rabies made Pasteur famous all over the world.
