Why is courtesy part of good character?
Maharana Pratap's courtesy
Being courteous and polite is a basic human nature, and it grows more as the heart gets purified. The story of Maharana Pratap bowing to a beggar shows courtesy in action.
He was walking in his kingdom when a beggar folded his hands in Namaste. Maharana Pratap also folded his hands, bowed his head and greeted the beggar.
