FOR THE LOVE OF INDIA BY FIONA CUMMINGS


Good morning Bloggets. Gosh I was reading an interesting story today about a couple of Mothers in India one lady was a Hindu the other a Muslim. Both ladies gave birth to boys at the same time in the same hospital and both babies weighed the same!

 

You may be a head of me already, a week after they were born the lady who got out of hospital immediately after giving birth realised that her baby wasn’t hers. By the looks of the child and the baby represented the Mother that was in the bed next to her. Turned up eyes and larger cheeks almost Mongolian looking. She told her Husband and at first, he was really cross with his wife but on reflection he began to investigate.

 

He had no help or support from the hospital and ended up getting the Police involved but it took a couple of years and after blood tests and a letter to the other Mother, eventually the case went to court. But in the end the two families loved their children, or in this case, each other’s children and decided to keep the children the way it was but the loveliest part of this story is the families meet up regularly and are working on becoming friends.

 

Now, one child will be brought up as a Muslim the other a Hindu. One of the fathers said children are children and religion shouldn’t come in between them. Wow, if only everyone thought like that? I really feel this is a story with a lesson to us all I also feel it will make an incredible story for a movie. But most of all, I hope the children will be happy and not affected by this.

 

It must be so difficult though, I mean right now the children are just under three years old. What happens when they are older and they are all together. One child does something the natural parents don’t agree with? One of them isn’t working as they should at school and when they date? Oh, gosh, I sadly can see problems ahead. And when the Grandchildren are born? I guess some will say there are more parents to love the children as will there be more Grandparents.

 

Below is a link to this story. There is much more detail than what I have written and it’s really worth a read.
