Jallianwala Bagh

 Jallianwala Bagh...

It is only when you visit the place that you realize the truth of the brutal massacre that occured there...



Had the chance to visit the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar. Entering through the narrow lane, one could see how the brutal British troops entered and blocked any escape route for the people gathered in the Bagh. A peaceful gathering turned into a bloodbath with the Indian soldiers of the British firing at the crowds for around 10 minutes till they ran out of ammunition... Many jumped in the well to save their life but they died there....

In the end, 1000s dead, 1500+ wounded and to ensure they didn't get any treatment, the Governor Michel Dwyer enforced a curfew prohibiting people from walking on the streets. Many more died due to lack of treatment. Britishers like Rudyard Kipling justified this action and even praised Brig. Gen. Reginald Dyer. Dyer justified himself saying he was doing his duty but everyone knows the truth...






You can even see the marks the bullets left on the walls...

Till date, The Bloody British Government hasn't apologized for this massive massacre they did just to crush the spirit of Indians. 

We never forgive, We never forget...

A 100+ years have passed and yet the wounds never heal

Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj - The Valiant Defender

Image
It was due to the efforts of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj that Hindvi Swarajya was established. Unfortunately, Maharaj died soon after his coronation and a power vacuum was formed. Maharaj was succeeded by his eldest and most capable son, Chhatrapati Sambhaji raje. Here we will learn more about his life and his achievements. Sambhajiraje was born on 14 May, 1654 on the fortress of Purandar. His mother was Saibaisaheb, the chief queen of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Unfortunately, Shambhuraje lost his mother when he was just two years old. We cannot imagine the sorrow he went through during this phase. During those troubled times, a woman named Dharau became the foster mother of Shambhuraje. She fed him her own milk and looked after him as if he was her own child. Shambhuraje was a loving child and was doted upon by the other queens of Shivajiraje. His education was overseen by Rajmata Jijau saheb. Teachers were invited from various parts of the country to teach the young prince. Soon...

Swarajya Sansthapak - Chhatrapati Shivaji Raje Bhosale

Image
The Land of India has been the birthplace of many great people. Such a person born in this country was Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Shivaji Maharaj is an inspiration, not just for Maharashtrians, but also for the rest of Indians. His life is a reminder of the continuous struggle against foreign oppression and domination. The task which he accomplished was initially limited to freeing Maharashtra from the oppressive rule of the Sultans, but later the small seed of Swarajya which he had sowed in the lands of Maharashtra, germinated and grew into the large tree of The Maratha Empire.      For 300 years, Maharashtra was under the barbaric domination of the Sultans. The natives were tired of suffering under the oppressive rule of the Mughals and the Adilshahi forces. In such troubled times, the people needed a saviour, who would lead them to freedom. And on 19th February, 1630, Shivaji Raje was born on Shivneri Fort. His father, Shahaji Raje Bhosale was a fierce and calcu...
