Conspiracy of silence
Some highlights from the article :
Let me first start with startling facts that should have by now been well known to an Indian audience in normal course. When Pakistan was created in 1947, Hindus constituted about 15 per cent of the population of West Pakistan (current Pakistan); by 1998 it is about 1.6 per cent ....

A few words on “Good Governance” Day
Here is an article from Anirban Ganguly on the subject which appears to be highly logical. One may read this article for deep insight about the matter. A few glimpses : Good Governance Day - Why are Left-Libs rattled ?
There is much noise being made on the issue of celebrating “Good Governance” Day in educational institutions and observing the birth anniversaries of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Mahamana Madan Mohan Malaviya. This is the season for the Opposition and their new social media and media drum beaters to try and project to the wider world that their fears of the rise of “fascism” in India has come true...
It is perhaps only through such a whipping up of false emotions and notions, and self-portraying themselves as the champions of the “oppressed” that these groups hope to fuel their near dry scholarships that would sail them to exotic academic climes in the West and enable them to perpetuate, unhampered, their agendas and thesis of “class struggle”, “disintegration” and “deconstruction.”.....
A venomous and interesting lot is this – leaving one to wonder whether they are struck in a time warp and gradually turning into relics themselves. Let us sample a few of their intellectual savouries, most of it argued upon based on a Wikipediac perspective – which most serious scholars would avoid doing – and half baked media reports. ....Read More Here

CTI of Terrorism based on compilation of Intelcentre
* The Country Threat Index (CTI) 2014, compiled by IntelCenter, an US based think-tank working for intelligence agencies, has complied 45 countries above zero threat of Terrorism and Rebellious Militancy of various kinds against humanity. The report has been published in Washington on 9 December 2014.
* The rankings were prepared after examining the volume of terrorist activities and rebel alerts, messaging traffic, releasing graphic videos, photos on brutality, incidents and the number of killed and injured persons in a country over the past 30 days.
* There are a total of 45 countries with a CTI greater than zero. The average CTI for these countries is 74 and the global CTI is 3,313, as the report says.
India’s two neighbouring countries are in the top ten in CTI as the report suggests.
Pakistan is placed eighth in the list of the most dangerous countries in the world which is led by Iraq, according to the report of CTI and Afghanistan, the only other South Asian country in the list, is placed in fourth.
* The reports revealed that the up surging Jihad in Middle East, Africa and Muslim majority areas are looming the most dangerous threats for the humanity and that has been accounted in the Country Threat Index. Infighting between the Muslims, traditional animosity between Shia and Sunni and obviously the war between Christian and Muslims and between Jews and Muslims are the most vulnerable threats to the harmony and the peace of the world.
* As per source, the detailed report mentions the attacks and activities of Talibans and various Jehadi outfits throughout the world, ISIS advancement in Syria and Middle East, attack of Islamic Uighur rebellions on Han people in China’s Xinjiang, fighting between Hamas and Mossad and the deadly effort of Sharia enforcement of Boko Haram in Nigeria through a straight fight with the state authority inclined to Christianity. Interestingly, Hindus are never included in this report for their engagement in any terror of rebellious activities.

Some RSS domains and peoples
Like him, around 2,200 techie swayamsevaks have joined IT Milans in the city since 2001 when the first shakha was launched by the RSS.
"It's a like-minded group and good eco-system to contribute to the society and fashion the national discourse. At the shakha, we start with physical exercises like yoga and Surya Namaskar, after which we discuss various issues, including national security, foreign policy and social issues," he said.
IT Milans are a weekly adaptation of the daily RSS Shakha (gathering of swayamsevaks at a common place for an hour daily). It comprises professionals, mostly from the IT sector.
With 110 shakhas, Bengaluru is home to half the 225 IT Milans in the country. Mysuru has two Shakhas. At an average of 20 members per IT Milan, there are about 2,200 techie Swayamsevaks in the city.
"It's growing every year. The online registration has increased," said Suresh Nayak, an RSS pracharak. The concept was launched in Bengaluru in 2001 to attract outsiders (non-Kannadigas) in the IT industry. The saffron IT brigade has kept pace with the growth of IT. This year alone, the organization has started about a dozen IT Milans in the city.
How's it different from a regular shakha? The regular shakha is a daily affair, while IT Milan is held on Sundays, normally between 8 am and 9 am.
The regular shakhas are held in Kannada, while IT Milan will be either in Hindi or English or Kannada, depending on the profile of the volunteers. However, like in a daily shakha, IT Milans also have physical exercises, patriotic songs, group discussions and prayer. "As they are professionals, there will be more intellectual activity. The focus is more on how they could help the society," Nayak said.
Besides attending shakhas, the groups take active part in Swachh Bharat campaign and activities of NGOs associated with the RSS.
3,400 SHAKHAS & 1.2 LAKH VOLUNTEERS!
Karnataka has 3,400 RSS Shakhas, including 600 added in the past four years, and around 1.2 lakh swayamsevaks (above 18 years). The process of joining is easy. There is no fee or registration. Once a person starts attending a shakha, he becomes a member.
A senior RSS leader, who didn't wish to be quoted, said, "We record about 30,000 online registrations, of which 1,000 are from outside the country. In Karnataka, the trend (attraction towards the RSS) has been there for the last three-and-a-half to four years.''
"Both interest and awareness about nationalism and the RSS have increased after Narendra Modi became the prime minister,'' said Radha Krishna Holla, who handles the RSS media relations.
Myths about Sanskrit
Here is a video on "Is Sanskrit only a language in the Indian Knowledge System ? by Dr. Kapil Kapoor.
Dr. Kapil Kapoor highlights the importance of Sanskrit in education of India. He claims that how downplaying the importance of Sanskrit has de-intellecutalized 'educated' Indians. How their vocabulary has been forced into hibernation by the vocabulary of west. He laments that how India has fallen into a receiver-donor relationship with the western academia, a relationship of intellectual subordination.

Swayamsevak’s houses attacked at Payyannur
The houses of patriotic social workers of RSS were attacked by Marxists activists,Police failed to control the situation.
In a continued incident of hate-politics, several houses belongs to RSS functionaries were attacked on Saturday night at Payyannoor of Kannur, northern Kerala. Once again, police failed to control the continued attack on patriotic social workers of Sanghparivar.
Houses of RSS Kannur Jilla Karyavah Tanerikarad K Rajeshan, BJP Yuvamorcha Jilla President P Arun Kumar, Karshaka Morcha district secretary Ettikulam’s Narayanan, BJP functionaries AK Rajagopal, S Shivaprakash Shenoy and few others were severely subjected to the attacked. Vehicles including bikes were burnt, stones pelted to cars as well. Houses pelted with stones and bombs were hurled. Thankfully no major casualties.
J Nandakumar, RSS Akhil Bharatiya San Prachar Pramukh strongly condemned the incident. “We strongly condemn the inhuman attacks unleashed by Marxists goons against RSS workers in Payyannur. Marxist leaders lost their mental balance due to the cadre drain they are facing in their so called Citadels. Irked by that they resort for violence to stop the flow of workers towards RSS and related organisations. Marxists should leave this barbaric method of primitive communism or else the people who believe in democracy would sure force them to behave themselves” said J Nandakumar.
Union Home Minister Rajnath Sing visited Kannur district on September 26 and assured a control on hate politics issues which had decades of history. Even after Home Minister’s appeal, the incidents of attack on RSS families are repeating and mounting gradually. Rajnath Singh had visited the family members of a slain RSS functionary in Kerala’s Kannur district, Elamthotathil Manoj, the district Shareerik Pramukh of the RSS, was hacked to death on September 01 by CPI(M) activists at Kathirur.

Protest by RSS aide wings against attack on Datta Peetha pilgrims
Addressing the meeting, BJP Leader Tejaswini Gowda said, “We feel like we were not born in Hindusthan. All this is happening because of the Congress party. We have ruled our country by surrendering our swords. We know how to rule.” Alleging that the stones at the protest were pelted by Muslims, she said, “We are not mad to throw stones at our own members. This was done by Muslims. “Hindus are peace-loving people, but if even one Hindu is provoked, then it is very diffcult to make him quiet again,” she added. “I will be there with you whenever there is a problem or whenever you need me. Those who are using swords should be arrested,” Tejaswini told the gathering, adding, “You should be ready to sacrifice your life to protect Hindutva.”
Sri Rajashekharananda Swamiji of Gurpur Vajradehi Matha said, “Today’s protest shows the kind of strength we have. Even though we did not get a chance to go into Ulaibettu, we are winners. We will go to Ulaibettu in the coming days. Some threw stones but we are not worried about that, because we are united and even women have joined to support us. “Do not lose patience. Do not take law into your hands,” he added. Read more here

TMC wants to cheat WB again with imaginary story of red diary
Floating and spreading of such imaginary story are needed for TMC to counter some truthful questions raised by All India BJP president against TMC supremo related to Sarada scam and Burdwan Bomb blast and for which TMC has no answer.
Also,Trinamool Congress on Monday staged a protest at the gate of the Parliament building demanding BJP president Amit Shah should be named in the Sahara scam and also raised the issue in the Rajya Sabha.
Now let us investigate what is the fact:
What is TMC's vague charge?
TMC members alleged that a red diary of Subrata Roy recovered during CBI raid at Sahara's office in November also has the name of BJP chief Amit Shah among others. Trinamool member Derek O'Brien demanded a discussion over the issue in Rajya Sabha. When the TMC members were not allowed to do so, they protested at Parliament gate and flashed symbolic red diaries with Sahara written on them. TMC MP Sudeep Bandhopadhyay said, "In a raid by CBI, from Sahara's office a red diary was recovered in which Amit Shah's name is mentioned."
Who is Subrata Roy of Sahara?
Subrata Roy is founder-chairman of Sahara Group. He started with capital of Rs 2,000 in the late 1970s and eventually built his company into a giant. According to its website, it has assets currently of more than $11 billion or Rs 68,000 crore. Roy was arrested on February 28 in connection fraud and cheating case, and still behind bars. What is BJP saying? The BJP said that the TMC was making allegations for political gains. The party said there is no truth in allegations and that no diary was recovered in CBI raid. It also said the party is disturbed by the successful rally that was held by Amit Shah in Bengal on Sunday.
What is Sahara Issue?
The case is about optional fully convertible debentures that two of Sahara Group's unlisted companies - Sahara India Real Estate and Sahara India Housing Investment - issued during 2008-2011. The debentures garnered Rs 17,400 crore from 30 million investors. The collection was not in compliance with the requirements applicable to the public offerings of securities. SEBI ruled an order on 23 June 2011 directing the Sahara Chief and the two companies to refund the money with interest to the investors. Following this, Sahara group took the matter with Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT). But SAT held the Sebi findings to be correct. Then, Sahara group approached the Supreme Court in August 2012. During the hearing, the apex court asked the group to repay an amount of over Rs 24,000 crore to Sebi within 90 days. But, suddenly Sahara said it had repaid most of the money over the last one year and an amount of just over Rs 5,000 crore was pending. SC directs Subrata Roy to appear personally. But, when he failed to appear before it, the apex court issued non-bailable warrant. Subrata Roy was later arrested by the Lucknow police and is in police custody.
However,from this one can understand that Sarada Scam and Sahara issue are not the same. TMC is using the Joseph Goebbels - Propaganda Principles which is "telling a lie repeatedly to establish as a truth". Mamata's dynastic successor, her nephew is also today found to be on the field (at Shahid Minar Maidan in Kolkata)to make fool the WB people with his fallacious reasoning , bad and sentimental quotes to shed the criminal activities of TMC .

Ridiculous Madness of WB Govt.
One can find and feel such an action from this media report which reads "BJP National President Amit Shah has been denied permission to hold rally in the heart of Kolkata on Sunday, media reported.
The civic body on Thursday denied the permission citing objected to details like the location of the stage.
A bemused BJP State chief Rahul Sinha later reacted, "This must be a record in India... perhaps it can be entered in the Guinness book... we have gone to court three times to seek this venue." "Let the corporation design the stage, we are fine with that," Mr Sinha said.
The two parties were at loggerheads over controversy for quite some time surrounding the location of the rally to be addressed in the city by its National president Amit Shah scheduled on Sunday, November 30.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had applied as early as July for permission to hold a public meeting outside Victoria House in Esplanade area, where Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee holds an annual rally every July for her party.
After several intimidation, when the city Police didn't pay heed to their requests, the party appealed to a Calcutta High Court.
It has been learnt that police, however, has refused to give the necessary nod, contending that the rally would cause jams since Victoria House is near a major traffic intersection.
The city police said that Mr Shah's meeting would inconvenience commuters since a major traffic intersection is located at the venue.
The BJP has pointed out that no such concern has been expressed for the Chief Minister's address. Alleging discrimination, the party has refused to consider an alternative location.
After which on last Tuesday the saffron brigade contented in front of the court that ruling Trinamool Congress holds its annual meeting of party workers at the same location every 21 July.
The court has asked BJP to sort the issue with police, following which the party leaders met city's Commisioner of Police Surajit Kar Purakayastha on Thursday, who advised them an alternative spot.
But with BJP denying to accept the alternative, the matter got struck mid-way.
Police on Friday denied the permission again, saying the party didn't have the requisite clearences of Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) and Fire Services.
The KMC, which is under the ruling Trinamool party, on Thursday denied to give clearance." Source

Ahluwalia's model village Hatighisa
MP Darjeeling S.S.Ahluwalia has adopted Hatighisa for model village under SAGY scheme of Central Govt.A comprehensive report published somewhere else on Hatighisa village also is attached herewith for better understanding of our visitors.
BJP
picks Naxalite leader’s panchayat for central plan
Naxalbari,
Nov. 21: S.S. Ahluwalia, the BJP Darjeeling MP, today adopted under a
central village scheme the Hatighisa gram panchayat under which falls Naxalite
leader Kanu Sanyal’s residence.The Sansad Adarash Gram Yojana (SAGY) seeks to
make ideal villages of panchayats chosen by an MP who would pledge to work for
the improvement of sanitation, housing, HEALTH facilities, education
and human resource development.
The idea behind the plan announced by Prime
Minister Narendra Modi on October 11 may have made Kanu Sanyal happy, though
the founding member of the CPI (Marxist-Leninist) had chosen the path of
revolution to meet the stated objective of bringing social equality.Ahluwalia
today visited the Sebdellajote village home of Sanyal where the 80-year-old
Naxalite leader had committed suicide on March 23, 2010.A Congress leader in
Naxalbari today said the BJP had made a masterstroke by adopting this gram
panchayat in Naxalbari, seen as the birthplace of the Naxalite movement, as
Sanyal is still a respected figure in the area.Also the panchayat, which has 30
villages under it, is in the plains, not the hills where Ahluwalia already has
the support of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha. Choosing the Hatighisa panchayat for
the central scheme would benefit the
BJP, particularly after the MP’s visit to his home today,” the Congress leader
said. “Even among apolitical voters,
Kanu Sanyal’s reputation is of a leader who worked for the poor.
If the BJP MP
succeeds in changing the socio-economic scenario of Hatighisa, it would be a
great achievement for the party,” the Congress leader added. “It is evident
that the BJP is eyeing at the rural polls in the Siliguri subdivision just like
the SMC polls.” The dates of neither election has been announced. The terms of
both, the Siliguri Municipal Corporation and the Siliguri Mahakuma Parishad,
have lapsed.
At a rally in Siliguri on November 19, Trinamul Youth Congress chief Abhishek Banerjee had said that the BJP MP had done nothing in the plains. Asked if he had chosen the panchayat keeping an eye on the Siliguri rural polls, Ahluwalia said: “We are not here to get any political mileage but to implement a scheme launched by our Prime Minister.”The Hatighisa gram panchayat in Naxalbari block is 25km from Siliguri. “In April this year, when the then Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi was delivering his speech at a public meeting in Matigara under my constituency, he had specifically mentioned the backwardness of Naxalbari, which is known for the seat of a revolutionary movement, aimed for socio-economic development of the poor and downtrodden,” Ahluwalia said, during his visit to Sanyal’s home today. “Even today, out of 4,000-odd houses of Hatighisa, 3,000 are lack of toilets.

There are only 137 hand pumps in the
30 villages,” he said.The MP said he had
first heard about Sanyal when he was a student.“We are not going into the
political issue of whether his path was right or wrong but we can’t deny his
intention of working for the poor. I
have heard about him during my student life and can easily relate to his
lifestyle with what I saw at the hutment
today where he stayed for years,” Ahluwalia said.“All these prompted me to
choose Hatighisa as the area for scheme,” the MP said. Shanti Munda, the
caretaker of the house of veteran Naxalite and one of his close associates,
also spoke to the MP as he visited the one-room house of Sanyal.
“I
was just a 13-year-old girl when I came in Sebdellajote and since then, I was
with Kanubabu till his last day. During these years, I have heard so many
promises uttered by ministers and leaders who visited the village. But till
date, nothing much has changed. If the
MP’s visit improves the area, we would appreciate it,” Munda, who is over 80,
said.Dipu Haldar, who took charge as general secretary of CPI (ML), after
Sanyal’s death, also spoke of the backwardness
of the area. “Kanubabu fought for people throughout his life and yet, we could
get drinking water in Sebdellajote only six months back. Before that, majority
of people had to bank on the water of a stream skirting the village,” Haldar said.

Sidharth Nath Singh on Kunal Ghosh issue-Press Statement
Suicide attempt by Mr Kunal Ghosh in jail raises questions.
Many had suspected of political motive behind the arrest of Kunal Ghosh because he had started to expose senior TMC leaderships involvement in Shardha Chit fund scam. He had also spoken about his life being in danger under Bengal police custody. Few days back he had threaten to commit suicide if certain leadership of TMC like Mukul Roy and Madan Mitra are not arrested under Shardha scam. CBI being independent will follow their own line of investigation, however what is alarming is that Bengal police and the jail authorities allowed Kunal Ghosh to commit suicide inside the jail after he had already made his intention clear. Since Kunal Ghosh is a prime witness to Shardha scam it was imperative for Bengal police to be more alert and should have monitored 24x7 Kunal Ghosh . Therefore the approach of Jail authorities raises further questions , whether it was suicide attempt or political motive of allowing him to commit suicide? Also it is important to know how the drugs slipped into his room?
BJP demands that CBI should investigate also the suicide attempt of Kunal Ghosh and under the process of law ensure a safer custody of Shardha scam's prime witness.

A short Biography of Birsa Munda
On the day of Birsa Munda Jainty Written by Basudeb Pal (Mobile : 9674514952)
During the colonial
phase of India there was a hero who had the courage to fight against the might
of the British Raj and his leadership was so sincere that people joined his
struggle without a second thought. This great hero was Birsa Munda.
Early Life: Schooling,
Christianity and first Revolt
Birsa was born in
Bamba, a suburb of Ranchi (Now Jharkhand) on 15 November, 1875. The son of poor
parents Sugna Munda and Karmi Hatu, he grew up around the forests of Bohonda,
grazing sheep and dancing in the akhara. He also developed an interest in
playing the flute. He went round with the tuila (one-stringed
instrument made from pumpkin) in the hand and the flute strung to his waist.
Due to abject poverty, his father had to move from place to place looking for
work, which caused Birsa to move to Ayubhatu, his maternal uncle’s village
where he stayed for two years.
He went to school at
Salga, run by one Jaipal Nag. There he came in contact with a pracharak who
visited a few families in the village which had been converted to Christianity
and attacked the old Munda order. As he was sharp in studies, Jaipal Nag
recommended him to join German Mission School in Burj, Chaibasa.
Since converting to
Christianity was obligatory to join the school, Birsa became a Christian and
was renamed Birsa David, which later became as Birsa Daud.
One day while the
class was going as usual in the German Mission School, a teacher Dr Nottrott
repeatedly used disparaging words for the Mundas. Birsa returned the favor by
criticizing Dr. Nottrott and the missionaries in razor-sharp words eventually
leaving the school in protest.
That was a turning
point in his life as he realized the maxim that saheb, saheb ek topi
hai (all whites, the
British and the missionaries, wear the same cap).
Soon after leaving
school, Birsa and his family left Chaibasa and gave up their membership of the
German mission. As an adolescent, Birsa heard tales of the Munda uprisings
(ulgulaan) of the past and the Sardars (leaders) of the community urging the
people to revolt. The Sardars talked of a golden age when the Mundas were free
from oppression and foretold a time when the ancestral right of the community
would be restored.
They saw themselves as
the descendants of the original settlers of the region, fighting for their
land, and reminding people of the need to win back their kingdom.
Making of a Prophet:
Instead of improving
his life, Birsa realized that his culture was getting destroyed as thousands of
Mundas were being converted.
The colonialist
connection of Christianity was a powerful tool of selling Christianity as the
religion of the downtrodden. Any connection between the rulers and the
missionaries was however indirect.
Around 1890 Birsa went
to Bandgaon and that is where he came in contact with Anand Pandey, who was the
‘Munshi’ of Jagmohan Singh, the zamindar of Bandgaon.
Pandey was well versed
in the principal scriptures of Vaishnavism (as customary in the area) and with the Hindu
epic-lore. Birsa also met a Vaishnav monk who preached there for two months.
From them Birsa learnt a lot about Hindu religious teachings and got the
opportunity to read the Ramayana, Mahabharata and other Hindu scriptures.
He gave up eating
meat, began worshipping the tulsi plant, and wore the sacred thread.
Eventually he started
a new tribal faith known as ‘Birsait‘ which laid stress on prayers, faith in God, observance of a
code of conduct, abstention from alcohol, sacrifices and so on. His movement
was aimed at reforming the tribal society. He urged the Mundas to stop believing
in witchcraft and sorcery. Birsa also wanted people to once again work on their
land and cultivate their fields.
Birsa’s claim to be a
messenger of God and the founder of a new religion sounded preposterous to the
missionaries as his simple system of offering was directed against the church
which levied a tax.
Birsa Munda started to
propagate the principles of Hindu religion and advised converted tribal people
to revert to their original religious system. He also urged the people to
worship cow and opposed cow slaughter. The Mundas, Oraons, and Kharias flocked
to Chalkad to
see the new prophet and to be cured of their ills. Soon both the Oraon and
Munda population in the entire region became devoted ‘Birsaities’. Contemporary
and later folk songs commemorate the tremendous impact of Birsa on his people,
their joy and expectations at his advent. The name of Dharti Aba was on everybody’s lips.
At that period of
history, Mundas were utterly frustrated, disappointed and discontented. They
felt that the Zamindars, moneylenders, Christian missionaries and the British
courts, had only one point program and that was to exploit the Mundas. The
missionaries lured them to become Christians and the others attacked on their
traditional values and socio-economic infrastructure.
First Movement:
Birsa left Chalkad in the wake of the mounting Sardar
agitation. He participated in the agitation stemming from popular disaffection
at the restrictions imposed upon the traditional rights of the Mundas in the
protected forest. During 1893-94 all waste lands in villages, the ownership of
which were vested in the Government, were constituted into protected forests
under the Indian Forest Act VII of 1882. In Chhotanagpur, the forest settlement
operations were launched and measures were taken to determine the rights of the
forest-dwelling communities. These orders were sometimes not understood by
local officers who acted as if all right of forest-dwelling communities had
been curtailed. Petitions were submitted claiming the resumption of what they
called were their old ancestral right to free fuel, grazing etc.
Birsa led a number
of raiyats of
Sirgida to Chaibasa with a petition for the remission of forest dues. Nothing
came of it. The Chotanagpur Protected Forests Rules framed under the Indian
Forest Act came into force in July 1894. Viewing Birsa’s involvement in the
Sardar agitation with concern, Anand Pandey advised him not to let his emotion
overpower him; but he would not turn a deaf ear to the inner voice. Thus his
three years’ association with Pandey came to an end in 1894.
To the twin challenges
of agrarian breakdown and culture change, Birsa and his supporters responded
through a series of revolts and uprisings. The movement sought to assert rights
of the Mundas as the real proprietors of the soil, and the expulsion of
middlemen and the British. While landlords and moneylenders were taking over
their land, and missionaries were ridiculing criticizing their traditional
culture. He recruited volunteers to fight the British Government.
What worried British
officials most was the political aim of the Birsa movement, for it wanted to
drive out the missionaries, moneylenders, landlords and the government
officials and set up a Munda Raj with Birsa as its head. The slogan of the
movement was “The reign of the Queen is over and the Munda Raj had begun.
Even though the Munda
agitation was not an all-India movement, it shared the essence of the national
freedom struggle.
As the movement gained
momentum the British officials became desperate. They spread rumors that on a
particular day the non-believers of ‘Birsaites’ from the region are going to be massacred besides winning
some people over by bribing.
As a result of these manipulations
Birsa was arrested on 24 August 1895.
The British Raj
convicted him on charges of rioting and he suffered rigorous imprisonment for
two years in the Hazaribagh Jail.
The Final Movement:
Birsa was released in
1897, following which he began touring the villages to gather support. The
Christian missionaries were getting desperate as Birsa became the biggest
stumbling block in their path of conversion. So they co-operated with the
colonial officials to get Birsa’s followers arrested. Birsa went into hiding
for two years.
During his period in
hiding he attended a series of secret meetings and practiced the traditional
ritual of throwing arrows on the effigy of Queen Victoria and enemies. By
the end of 1899, local folklore states that Dharti Aba the messiah reappeared with magical powers to
invigorate his followers, the ‘Birsaites’. Birsa Munda’s longtime companion, a
Munda woman Sali was instrumental in organizing the women in the movement.
Birsa gave a clarion
call to the Birsaites of a decisive war against the British Raj. He used
traditional symbols and language to rouse people, urging them to destroy the
British and establish a kingdom under his leadership.
After intensive
preparations, the Birsaites made
a gallant bid to overthrow the British Raj. They raised the white flag as a
symbol of Birsa Raj. The Anglican Mission at Murhu and the Roman Catholic
Mission, at Sarwada was the main target. The Birsaites openly declared that the
real enemies were only the SahebLog (British Officers and Missionary heads) and the
Christian Mundas would not be
touched.
In January 1900, the
entire Munda community was up in arms. During the Revolt of 1899-1900 Birsa
emerged as the supreme leader of the Mundas. After a series of concerted
attacks for nearly two years on strategic the Munda warriors started
congregating on “Dombari Hill” (Nearly 20 Kilometers from the present day
Ranchi-Jamshedpur Highway), on the call of Birsa. They adopted Guerilla war
tactics. They attacked police stations and churches and raided the property of
moneylenders and zamindars. The revolt rocked the British administration to the
extent that the commissioner declared a heavy cash reward for the arrest of
Birsa.
The then commissioner
Mr. A Fobes and Deputy Commissioner Mr. H.C. Streattfield, rushed to Khunti
with heavily armed battalions to crush the Ulgulan (Total Revolt) for “Abua Disun” (Self rule). Subsequently British forces
attacked the Munda warriors congregated at “Dumbari Hill” and made
indiscriminate firing like that of “Jalianwala Bagh” killing several
hundred people. The whole hill was littered with human corpses. But Birsa
somehow managed to escape.
Arrest and Mysterious Death:
He was treacherously
nabbed while asleep at Jamkopai forest in Chakradharpur (Bengal) on 3
March, 1900 and mysteriously died in the jail on 9 June of the same year.
It is said that the
British rulers were actually hesitant to execute him publicly and hence he was
poisoned to death inside the prison. He was not hanged because the British
rulers had no guts to execute him publicly.
Even after decades
have passed Birsa’s birth anniversary which falls on 15 November, is still
celebrated by the tribal people in as far as Mysore and Kodagu districts in
Karnataka,while an official function takes place at his Samadhi Sthal, at Kokar
Ranchi, Jharkhand.The legacy of this brave warrior lives through the war cry of
the Bihar Regiment which is Birsa Munda Ki Jai (Victory to Birsa Munda).
Unfortunately few of
our countrymen know of this valiant freedom fighter but, it is not too late to
propagate the legacy of this great hero who died unsung.
