When power failed and roads drowned, Dr Sarvadaman Mishra showed up. At a camp in Bundi, when a blackout hit, he treated hundreds through the night by lantern light. In Hapur, he dug a seventy-five metre pit that held a full monsoon. During the Bhopal gas tragedy, he and his daughters cared for the stricken as poisoned air filled the wards. After the Latur quake, he rented an ambulance, stocked it himself, and drove into broken towns.
Born to freedom fighters who had faced prison, he made sure to carry their duty into his work and family. Three daughters and two granddaughters chose medicine, guided by his example. Villagers brought the injured on charpoys, trusting his hands over institutions. A mother once chased a rickshaw to thank him for saving her daughter and a newborn on a stormy night in Bansi. This book honours a life built on small, repeated choices that saved lives.
