Bibi Rajni
About
In the era of Guru Ram Das, one cannot leave out Rajni, youngest daughter of Rai Duni Chand, revenue collector (Kardar) of Patti. Rajni was a Sikh, a disciple of the Guru.
One day she was sitting with her sisters admiring some new clothing they all had received from their father. The girls were ecstatic and exclaiming how good their father was to them. Rajni observed that all gifts are ultimately from God. Their father was merely an instrument of His greatness. Unfortunately for her, he overheard her comment and became very angry. It was not the first time that she incurred his wrath because of her extreme piety.
The infuriated father, believing her to be an ungrateful wretch, married her to a leper with a taunt that her would see how her God would help her lead a normal life.
