Blood of a Dalit
Once upon a time a Jat Chaudhary became seriously ill. He was kattar casteist and office bearer of his caste organisation. He was shifted to Pgims, Rohtak. The doctors said that he has Peptic perforation and he will need an urgent operation. Surprisingly his haemoglobin was 7 gm %. He was asked to arrange three units of blood . He was accompanied by two three psychophant chelas who refused to give blood on one pretxt or the other. His only son was in U.K. His second daughter Bhateri immediately came from her sausral and donated one unit. still two Units were required. He wanted to purchase the blood with any amount of money but could not as the hospital rules didnot permit such transfusions. In the meantime a bearer (dalit) from his village came to know and he donated one unit of blood for him.One unit was arranged from the hospital blood bank on his(bearer’s) request. Chaudhary sahib had a dilemma to get that blood transfused. His daughter said, “Look Pappa blood of every human being is the same exept their blood groups, donot refuse .” He kept mum. He was operated and saved.
The question is accepted the blood from a dalit , whether it was right or wrong?
Pure breed of Jat would have impurity with that or not?
What one should do in such situations when blood from a jat donor is not available?
I know many will react sharply. But I think these are the issues to be debated.
