Virtue signaling

I met him about 7-8 years ago when I was visiting a village to help with Dalits with micro loans and such. He just finished his IT degree and gave me a ride of about 100 kilometres around the villages and to Pedavadlapudi. We got talking. He just finished his IT degree but was working as a labourer in his village since he could not get a job. At that time there were some short courses in Hyderabad which specialised in training graduates to jobs. I had 20,000 rupees left. I gave to him and asked him to go for some training in Hyderabad and try his luck. He did but fell sick since he was trying to save on food. During our journey he took me to  the college where he studied and reminisced about his happy days in college. Some time later, he told me of a girl he met in college. She came to him at the end of his college days and told him that she liked his ways and would like to marry him. He said that he had to look after his family first. Moreover he is a Dalit Christian and she is a Hindu possibly from one of the upper castes. He struggled. His father came down with paralysis, his mother with a serious snake bite. He got a small IT job in Bangalore in which he had to travel. He fell in a ditch during one of those trips and broke his leg. He stayed in a room with three others where the room rent and food was 5,000 rupees a month and helped with his brother’s education and parents health problems. Meanwhile the long distance love affair continued, she has been working in Madras. She refused to marry anybody else. Her parents did not agree. He built house for his father and the parents are well settled now. I kept meeting him off and on and tried through internet friends to help him. I think Avineni Bhaskar agreed but could not establish contact. Once he had to spend six months in Delhi and was like a fish out of water. I wrote to math ph.d student there, a UP Brahmin and he met him and tried to make him feel at home. Recently the girl picked up enough courage to go home and tell her parents. Her father threw her out but her mother was sympathetic. I kept telling him that it is hard to find good girls and he may regret for the rest of his life if he let her go. They married yesterday. He phoned me at midnight to tell me and I cannot sleep now.
