The Shadow Healer of Bastar: A Story Never Told

0
890

In the dense tribal forests of Bastar, Chhattisgarh, where mobile networks flicker and roads vanish into red earth, lives a man named Lalsu Kunjam.

Not a government officer.
Not a doctor.
Not a politician.
Just a former school dropout turned forest herbalist.

But what makes Lalsu different isn’t just his knowledge of healing roots or tribal chants. It’s his vow:

"No child in my village will die because they were too poor to reach a hospital."

The Hidden Clinic

With no formal training, Lalsu built a bamboo hut medical center behind his small home.

  • He gathers herbs from the forest, treating snake bites, fevers, even fractures with stunning success.

  • If it’s beyond him, he personally carries patients on a makeshift stretcher through 12 kilometers of forest to the nearest health center.

He doesn’t charge a rupee.
In fact, he gives food to the families who visit, so they don’t go hungry after traveling for help.

Why No One Knows

Lalsu refuses interviews. He has no Facebook page. No awards. No government recognition.
When asked why, he simply says:

“If I start looking at cameras, I might stop looking at people’s pain.”

But He Did Something Unthinkable

In 2024, a pregnant tribal woman lost her baby on the way to the hospital.
That night, Lalsu wept—not for the child, but for his helplessness.

The next day, he walked 47 kilometers to the Collector's Office, barefoot, holding a wooden slate.

Written in white chalk:

“If roads don’t come to us, we will build them with our grief.”

And they did. With zero funds, villagers built a 5 km mud road, guided by Lalsu’s belief.

Why This Story Matters

Because no one told it. Because in every dark corner of our country, there’s a Lalsu—

  • Healing silently, Walking against apathy. Fighting without fame.

And because truth isn’t just what makes headlines. It’s what changes lives.

Bharat Aawaz is committed to finding and echoing the unheard voices like Lalsu Kunjam — the heartbeat of real Bharat.
