A Fearless Speaker of Truth
When Jinabhai was in the fifth standard a tragic
incident occurred at school. The headmaster Tribhovandas mercilessly
beat an innocent student called Chandu. The entire class helplessly
looked on in terror and Jinabhai chanted the name of Swaminarayan,
Swaminarayan. Soon the boy fell down unconscious and died. An inquiry
was held into Chandu's death. When the official asked the class no
one came forward to testify. But Jinabhai stood up and boldly said,
"Our headmaster had, through no fault of Chandu, fatally beaten him."
Tribhovandas was dismissed and Jina was rewarded for speaking the
truth.
