Kabuliwala - Rabindranath Tagore
Introduction
The story is about Rahmat, a fruit-seller from Kabul (called "Kabuliwala"), who comes to Kolkata to earn money. He becomes friends with a little girl named Mini, who is very talkative and curious. Rahmat sees Mini as his own daughter back in Afghanistan, and their sweet friendship grows.
Mini and Rahmat’s Friendship
Mini is a playful five-year-old who loves talking. At first, she is scared of Rahmat because she thinks his big bag has children inside, a kidnapper, but soon, they become good friends.
The Narrator’s View vs. Mini’s Mother’s Fear
Mini’s father enjoys talking to Rahmat and listening to his stories about Afghanistan. But Mini’s mother is worried—she thinks Rahmat might be dangerous and could even kidnap Mini. Still, Rahmat keeps visiting, and Mini’s father trusts him.
Rahmat’s Trouble and Mini Forgetting Him
One day, Rahmat gets into a fight with a customer who refuses to pay him. He stabs the man and is arrested. Mini sees him being taken away but doesn’t understand what’s happening. As time passes, Mini forgets about Rahmat and makes new friends.
Reunion Before Mini’s Wedding
Years later, when Mini is getting married, Rahmat returns after being released from jail. He wants to see Mini, but her father is hesitant. Then, Rahmat shows a handprint of his own daughter, whom he misses dearly. Seeing this, Mini’s father realizes Rahmat is also a loving father, just like him.
A Touching Goodbye
When Mini comes dressed as a bride, Rahamat realizes his own daughter in Afghanistan must have grown up too. Feeling emotional, Mini’s father gives Rahmat money to return home. Even though Mini’s wedding becomes simpler, her father feels it was more meaningful because of this act of kindness.
Conclusion
The story shows how friendship and love can cross borders. Rahmat and Mini’s bond reminds us that deep down, all parents love their children the same way. Tagore teaches us that kindness and understanding are more important than differences in culture or background.
