On this day 102 years back,
Cold-blooded massacre happened at #Jallianwalabagh.
It was Sunday & around 15,000 Hindu’s, Sikh's of Amritsar were celebrating their new year Baisakhi at the 7 acre park.
It was evening & the British came with around 90 foot soldiers & the 1st thing
they did was to close the only exit of the park.
The British under the orders of Acting Brigadier Reginald Dyer took positions & started Indiscriminate Shooting..
They shot till their ammunition was finished & didn't stop even for a second in between.
While around 1000+ people
died due to shooting, around 200+ people died when they fell into the deep well while escaping the bullets.
The youngest was a 7 month infant..
The estimates says around 1200 people were massacred & 8000 people were injured..
The reason for #JallianwalaBaghMassacre was that
British had imposed restrictions on public gathering, Dyer came to know about festival celebration at park on the same day afternoon & decided it was an opportunity to terrorise Punjab so that freedom fighters can be quelled.
The unrepentant Dyer was lauded by British for his
valour but when public turned out against him at Britain, they cancelled his promotion & barred him from entering Bharat again. (Thanks to C Shankaran Nair, his story will be written in another few days)
The British set up an enquiry commission instead of court martial & Dyer
showed no remorse for his action.

Infact, he proudly said, the shots were fired till the
Last Bullet was emptied & added that he didn't make any effort to hospitalise the wounded, he said, hospitals were open & they could've gone there.
After the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, on
15th April at Gujranwala, protest was held against British & again British massacred Around 30 people leaving 100s injured.
Rabindranath Tagore returned his Knighthood protesting against the British.
Gandhi Nehru did LIP SERVICE at that moment & the Non cooperation Movement
which Gandhi called 2 years later was also withdrawn immediately by Gandhi citing ChauriChara.

One 7 year old boy who was there at #Jallianwalabagh never forgot the wounds inflicted by Dwyer & Dyer, he had a grudge against the British & waited 21 years to take the revenge.
He was #ShaheedUdhamSingh.
On March 13th 1940, he shot at General Michael O Dwyer who was Lt Gov of Punjab & also had given Approval to Reginald Dyer for #JallianwalabaghMassacre.

On her 152nd birth anniversary, let us revisit a tragedy called #KasturbaGandhi.
The First Image is Kasturba Washing Gandhi’s Feet.
Bharatiya History witnessed two Over Hyped characters; both of them treated their wives with utmost contempt not acceptable to humanity.
They were
Gandhi and Nehru.
The Real Gandhi MISTREATED his family, Once he wrote a letter and I quote
"I simply cannot bear to look at Ba's face, the expression is often like that of a meek cow and that in her own dump manner she is saying something".
Born on April 11, 1869 at Porbander,
Kasturba was elder to Gandhi by 6 months, she married Mohandas with whom she played since her childhood.
The person whom she married was a SEXUALLY OVERDRIVEN husband who later took celibacy without her consent.
Infact, MK Gandhi left Kasturba in 1908 for Hermann Kallenbach,

Bankim Chandra Chatterjee – An Author/Reformer
In this thread/post, I’m deliberating the characters of the women in his novels and in the end leave the choice to readers for judgement.
Was he Communal/Patriarchal as claimed by WOKE’s?
Bankim Chandra’s early literary efforts
were produced in verse. In 1853, he brought out two volumes of poems entitled Lalita and Manasi, but after this Bankimchandra discarded poetry for fiction. Under the influence of the contemporary craze for writing in English, his first novel, Rajmohan’s Wife (1864)
Bishabriksha
(1873) is his first social novel which centres on the plight of widows.
Krishnakanter Uil (1878) is a realistic social novel and revolves around a widow’s socially inhibited love and its grim tragedy.
Bankim wrote in the preface to Krishnakanter Uil that, “novels are expositions

ಚಿತ್ರ - ದೇವರ ದುಡ್ಡು
ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ - ಹುಣಸೂರು ಕೃಷ್ಣಮೂರ್ತಿ
ಗಾಯನ - ಪಿ ಬಿ ಶ್ರೀನಿವಾಸ್

ಕೃಷ್ಣಾ, ಹೇ ಕೃಷ್ಣಾ, ಕೃಷ್ಣಾ
ಗಾಳಿಯ ಪಟದಂತೆ ನಾನಯ್ಯ
ಆಡಿಸೋ ಸೂತ್ರಧಾರೀ ನೀನಯ್ಯ

ಒಳಗಿನ ಕಣ್ಣನು ತೆರೆಸಿದೆಯೋ
ಗೀತೆಯ ಮರ್ಮವ ತಿಳಿಸಿದೆಯೋ

ನಾನೇ ಎಂಬ ಭಾವ ನಾಶವಾಯಿತು
ನೀನೇ ಎಂಬ ನೀತಿ ನಿಜವಾಯಿತು
ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣಾ, ಹೇ ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣಾ

ಹೇಳಿದ ನೀತಿಯ ಕೇಳದೆ ಹೋದೆ
ಕೇಳಿ ನಡೆಯದೆ ಅವಿವೇಕಿಯಾದೆ
ಎಲ್ಲವು ನಾನು, ನನ್ನದೇ ಎಂದು
ನಂಬಿದೆನಯ್ಯೋ ಶಾಶ್ವತವೆಂದು
ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಸುಳ್ಳು, ಎಲ್ಲವು ಪೊಳ್ಳು
ತಿಳಿದೆನು ಇಂದು, ನಾನು ಮಿಥ್ಯ ನೀನು ಸತ್ಯ

ನಾನೇ ಎಂಬ ಭಾವ ನಾಶವಾಯಿತು
ನೀನೇ ಎಂಬ ನೀತಿ ನಿಜವಾಯಿತು
ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣಾ, ಹೇ ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣಾ
ಹೆಂಡತಿ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಬಂಧು ಬಳಗ
ರಾಗ ಭೋಗಗಳ ವೈಭೋಗ

ಕಾಲನು ಬಂದು, ಬಾ ಎಂದಾಗ
ಎಲ್ಲವು ಶೂನ್ಯ ಚಿತೆ ಏರುವಾಗ
ಎಲ್ಲ ಶೂನ್ಯ, ಎಲ್ಲವು ಶೂನ್ಯ
ಉಳಿಯುವುದೊಂದೆ, ದಾನ ಧರ್ಮ ತಂದ ಪುಣ್ಯ

ನಾನೇ ಎಂಬ ಭಾವ ನಾಶವಾಯಿತು
ನೀನೇ ಎಂಬ ನೀತಿ ನಿಜವಾಯಿತು
ಒಳಗಿನ ಕಣ್ಣನು ತೆರೆಸಿದೆಯೋ
ಗೀತೆಯ ಮರ್ಮವ ತಿಳಿಸಿದೆಯೋ
ನಾನೇ ಎಂಬ ಭಾವ ನಾಶವಾಯಿತು
ನೀನೇ ಎಂಬ ನೀತಿ
