GANESH BABARAO SAVARKAR, AN UNSUNG HERO OF INDIA - CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

GANESH BABARAO SAVARKAR,  AN UNSUNG HERO OF INDIA - CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

A month ago I had promised to write a piece on Ganesh Babarao Savarkar, one of the greatest sons of Mother India.

He was the elder brother of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, also known as Veer Savarkar ( who is sufficiently famous), who has several landmarks in Mumbai and Maharashtra named after him.

Both brothers were deported and  incarcerated at the horrible Cellular Jail in Andamans Island.  But we know only about younger Vinayak,  nobody talks about Ganesh -- the elder brother, why?  What is the catch?  

Sonia Gandhi is tripping on her heels with Salman Khurshid to proclaim Tipu Sultan as a freedom fighter.
If you really want  to know who Tipu Sultan is , punch into Google search TIPU SULTAN UNMASKED- VADAKAYIL.

I wanted to get some material from the HJS website or www.HinduJagruti.org.  But alas the site has been banned by Sonia Gandhi and her coterie, (who are more loyal to the Italian waitress than their own motherland ) using the riots in Assam as an excuse.  These rulers do NOT care if Indian women defecate in the open,  65 years after Independence, but they will give 10 Billion USD to Italy Zone nay Euro Zone so that they can continue drinking premium wines.

I was a bit shocked, as I have been referring to this harmless Hindu website whenever I wanted to get inspired by a freedom fighter, or whenever I wanted to know the reason and the correct way to conduct a Hindu festival or Puja , or rather any Vedic cultural matter . 

The only time this site has involved itself in some controversy was when MF Hussain, a Muslim artist of India,  painted all our Hindu gods in group sex sexual orgies.  Which ever Hindu organizations protested , they were branded as "terrorists" by our pseudo secular Queen Bee and her Indian chamchas.

Your neighbour posts paintings of you, your mother, wife, daughter, brother and maid in a group sexual orgy all over the neigbourhood -- and when you complain peacefully -- you are branded as a bigot, hate monger and a terrorist.  

BRAVO!

See the way the world HATE is thrown around so loosely nowadays. Telling the truth is "hate speech". 

When a human race is cut adrift from her moorings, the people lose their mindset.  This has been happening right through history.    Even today the civilized Christian Americans are on overdrive converting all the sacred burial grounds of the ancestors of the Red Indians into golf courses.  

The Red Indians get solace and succor in difficult times from their murdered heroes and ancestors buried in  these graveyards. Whatever they owned  had been stolen by the Christian white man. Now their identity is being stolen and they are helpless.

Today we have Pakistani Presidents coming all the way to Ajmer in India, to offer prayers at the durgahof Kwajah Moinuddin Chisti.  Imagine tomorrow a callous Indian government razes this structure down and builds an Indoor sports stadium over it. They could have build stadiums else where at 1/100 of the costand better convenience -- but no!-  this is where we want the stadium --PERIOD! 

All Indians including Muslims know that when the Mughal invaders came 800 years ago, they razed down all Hindu temples situated at vantage vaastu areas and build mosques over the strong foundations.  Whichever mosque foundation ( older than 350 years )  is built according to Hindu Vaastu, with a Banyan tree and water body at the right place  --all belong to this category.  This includes Babri Masjid of Ayodhya.

After Independence our PM Jawaharlal Nehru, on Edwina's Mounbatten's suggestion ( she is from Rothschild's family ) wanted to raze Cellular Jail at port Blair, Andamans to the ground, and build a hospital there.   There was such a national furore and opposition from his own cabinet that Nehru dropped the idea like a hot potato.  

There was inner democracy those days-- while today we have Italian waitress and her not so bright son's "dictatorial democracy" and "lump it if you dont like it" democracy.  

This cocky Hindu hating "born to rule" duo chooses their own servile PM , President and speakers in Lok and Rajya Sabha.  

I do hope they will see some pictures of Indira Gandhi in handcuffs , after losing the elections in 1977.   The general elections of the year 2014, is not very far away. 

Nehru’s daughter Prime Minister Shrimati Indira Gandhi made the following observation , opposing her father “The main point of the preservation of the jail is to maintain its gaunt severity. This should be the most effective and poignant memorial of all.  New memorials, statues, gardens and youth camps will detract from the atmosphere of the original Jail, which we seek to preserve.",

Hindus in India have forgotten their glorious heritage and culture. All of us have a culture. This is what you are.  This is your grounding and your spiritual foundation.  This was what this banned HJS site was doing-- showcasing our Vedic culture and our freedom fighters..

Today we have thousands of sites and roads in India--  example Indira Gandhi Road,  Rajiv Gandhi airport, Sanjay Gandhi Nagar,  Jawaharlal Nehru Institute etc.

How many of you think there will ever be a Sonia Gandhi airport in India ?-- or a Ambika Soni road, or a Anand Sharma Marg, or a Kapil Sibal institute, or a Diggy Vijay avenue, or a Salman Khurshid house in school ? 

Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen.. 

The Italian Queen Bee and her stooges are shining now.  But all of them will soon be in the dustbin of Indian history.

Enough of trash talk-- 

Let me get back to the subject GANESH BABARAO SARVARKAR.  Today India is free, because of selfless people like him.

Ganesh Babarao Savarkar was pro-active.  He had balls, -- unlike the "napunsaks" whom we worship today,  and take public holidays in their name..

Mahatma Gandhi was loved by the British , for his "non-violence".  A few thousand white British Christian invaders ruled over millions of Indians for 300 years.  Even Hitler ridiculed Bose "What type of cowards are you, Indians--  millions of you cant drive away a handful of British from your country?"

Probably Hilter did NOT know that British had Indian friends like BR. Ambedkar, who actively assisted them in "divide and rule"

Britain also had THEIR TYPE OF FREEDOM FIGHTER LEADER in charge or our Indian resistance. Thousands of Indian soldiers fought for Britain in the 1st and 2nd World Wars.   We fought on behalf of our Christian invaders , who enslaved us, stole everything from our country and shat on our faces. 

Thousands of Indian soldiers died in the 1st and 2nd World Wars. Is there a single memorial in their name?. Only Whites Christians had memorials, Indians were counted among horses and donkeys. Who will build a memorial for a stupid donkey?

All thanks to "their type of freedom fighting Indian leaders" , they divided us and ruled.  

Three weeks ago we had a foreign funded TV channel CNN-IBN sham poll, where we chose ( sic!) BR Ambedkar as the greatest Indian.  Truly the crow was voted as more beautiful than a peacock , by a sham SMS and Internet poll--  BRAVO!  

CNN-IBN is owned by Time Warner-- who is just an arm of Rothschild-- the drug running owner of British East India Company who enslaved us . When the white Christian man came to India we were the richest country on this planet.

BR Ambedkar, with his dalit tinted glasses given to him by the British, did NOT spend a minute of his life fighting for India's freedom.   He has openly spoken and written that British rule is better than self rule.  He spent his whole life smashing fissures into Hinduism.  

I have put a separate post for him. Punch into Google search CNN-IBN POLL, THE GREATEST INDIAN AWARD - VADAKAYIL.

British East India Company, grew Opium In India and sold it in China in exchange for tea.  Rothschild's money is Tipu Sultan's gold.  Tipu Sultan's gold is North Kerala temples' gold . I am from North Kerala. 

Let me get back-- Ganesh Babarao Savarkar (June 13, 1879 – March 16, 1945) was a great but unsung Indian freedom fighter.  He was the eldest of the Savarkar brothers, Ganesh, Vinayak, and Narayan.

We Indian know only about Vinayak— as later in life he became the "white Christian invaders type of freedom fighter" .   These naked truths are bound to shock all the Indians. 

Vinayak Damodar Savarkar or Veer Savarkar, was also incarcerated at Andamans where his elder brother Ganesh Babarao was already in.

Vinayak Savarkar appealed to the British for clemency in 1911 and again during Sir Reginald Craddock's visit in 1913 at the Cellular jail , citing poor health in the oppressive conditions.

Vinayak Savarkar tactically signed a statement endorsing the trial, verdict , British law and fair British justice, and renouncing violence, a bargain for freedom.  Literally he gave a signed and stamped "Character certificate"  to the vile British invader.

“I hereby acknowledge that I had a fair trial and just sentence. I heartily abhor methods of violence resorted to in days gone by and I feel myself duty bound to uphold law and constitution to the best of my powers and I am willing to make the [1919 Montague-Chelmsford Reforms] a success in so far as I may be allowed to do so in future "

WHAT A DISGRACE--HIS ELDER BROTHER BABARAO WOULD NEVER EVER HAVE DONE THIS.

Veer Savarkar appealed for clemency within a year of his reaching the Andamans.  In one of his communications, to the British he says, “  ...if the government in their manifold beneficence and mercy release me, I for one cannot but be the staunchest advocate of constitutional progress and loyalty to the English government which is the foremost condition of that progress.... Moreover, my conversion to the constitutional line would bring back all those misled young men in India and abroad who were once looking up to me as their guide. ”

On May 2, 1921,  he was moved to a jail in Ratnagiri, and later to the Yeravda Central Jail, where he lived in comfort.

He was finally released on January 6, 1924 under stringent restrictions – he was not to leave Ratnagiri District and was to refrain from political activities.

Vinayak Savarkar in a statement issued on 19 December 1947, expressed joy at the recognition of the claim of Jewish people to establish an independent Jewish state of Israel, and likened the event to the glorious day on which Moses led them out of Egyptian bondage.  He regretted India's vote at the United Nations Organisation against the creation of the Jewish state terming the vote a policy of appeasement of Muslims.

For this sole statement Rothschild was grateful to him. And despite damning evidence against him, in the Mahatma Gandhi assassination case, on Jan 30th 1948,  he was let free.

The main accused in the Mahatma Gandhi's assassination case were Shankar Kistaiya, Gopal Godse, Madanlal Pahwa, Digambar Badge,  Narayan Apte, Vinayak D. Savarkar, Nathuram Godse, and Vishnu Karkare, all of whom were arrested, as accomplices and conspirators..

Vinayak Savarkar was arrested on 5 February 1948, from his house in Shivaji Park, and kept under detention in the Arthur Road Prison, Mumbai.

Godse claimed full responsibility for planning and carrying out the attack, However according to Digamber Badge the approver, on 17 January 1948, Nathuram Godse went to have a last darshan of Vinayak Savarkar in Bombay,  before the assassination. 

While Badge and Shankar waited outside, Nathuram and Apte went in. 

On coming out Narayan Apte told Digamber Badge that Veer Savarkar blessed them "Yashasvi houn ya" –“ be successful and return”.  

After Gandhi's assassination Savarkar's home in Mumbai was stoned by angry Hindu mobs.

Badge's testimony was rejected by the British (on recommendation of Jews Rothschild ), as lacking credibility and Veer Vinayak Savarkar was released..  Rothschilds and their stooge Winston Churcill would NOT harm anybody who supports Jews and Israel. 

Only after the death of Nehru, the Congress government, under Prime Minister Shastri, started to pay Veer Savarkar a monthly pension.  On Feb 26th 1966, Veer Vinayak Savarkar renounced medicines, food and water leading to his own death on February 26, 1966. 

Not a single minister from the Maharashtra Cabinet showed up in the cremation ground to pay homage to Savarkar. In New Delhi, the Speaker of the Parliament turned down a request that it pay homage to Savarkar.  PM Morajee Desai and Congress Home minister YB Chawan refused to visit the cell of Veer Savarkar when they went to Cellular jail.

After the unveiling of portrait of Veer Savarkar in the Indian Parliament in February 2003 there was a lot of mudslinging against him in the English newspapers. The main accusation was that Veer Savarkar apologised for his deeds to seek release from jail in Andaman Islands.

OK, now-- I must stop digressing in this manner-- 

I must get back to my subject matter , Ganesh Baburao Savarkar-- the elder brother of Veer Vinayak Sarvarkar. This man went through the same torture as his younger brother, but he was made of steel and never ever would agree to a dishonourable clemency plea- even if he was fried in boiling oil.

Ganesh Babarao Savarkar's life story make terrific reading.  This is the meaning of love for the motherland and a shining example of indefatigable human spirit.  His story must be available in every Military Establishment in India.  Our Indian jawans must know about him. --NOT Rahul Gandhi or Dig Vijay Singh or Ambika Soni or Kapil Sibal..

Ganesh Savarkar’s pro-active resistance against the British colonial government in India, caused him to be transported for life to Cellular jail.

For this unfair deportation, the then collector of Nasik, Jackson was assassinated by Anant Laxman Kanhere, another unsung freedom fighter,  in direct retaliation.

Kanhere, on 21 December 1909, shot Jackson, the Collector of Nashik of British India.

Nashik was a hub of anti-invader activities under a revolutionary organization Abhinav Bharat Society founded by Ganseh Babarao Savarkar .. They held secret meetings and planned organized resistance

Jackson, the British Collector of Nasik, was aware of these activities. 

Jackson started mixing with local people. Unlike other British officers, he created an image of himself as a Indian people friendly officer. He gave unsolicited propaganda that he was a Vedic literate Brahmin in his previous life and that was why he felt so much fatherly affection towards the Indian people. 

Jackson used to talk to people in Marathi and had some knowledge of Sanskrit.  In reality, his intentions were to make the people feel that they are good and safe in slavery and hence had to to squeal on any anti-British activities.

Shouting the slogan of 'Vande Mataram' written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay in 1882 was enough reason to be imprisoned for sedition. 

On 20 July 1905, Lord Curzon announced the partition of Bengal. This raised a storm of protest throughout the country.  Babarao Ganesh organized a spate of patriotic lectures in Nashik.The atmosphere in Nashik became charged with patriotic fervour.

The annual Dassara procession organized by the Mitramel was returning from the Kalika Mandir.  Babarao and other members raised loud joyful slogans of Vande Mataram.  On the pretext that these slogans disturbed the British residents, a British police officer, gave a hard blow on Babarao’s head with his baton. 

Enraged, Babarao ( who had balls ) leapt upon him and caught him by his throat and thrashed him soundly. 

Ganesh Babarao Savarkar was arrested promptly.  All this was a trap, and he fell into it neatly. The British just wanted him out of Nasik.

The arrested revolutionaries were tried before the First Class Magistrate of Malegaon division, W. Plunkett. It dragged on for one year and became famous throughout Maharashtra as the Vande Mataram trial.

Jackson was instrumental in getting Babarao indicted for writing a 16 page song book of Kavi Govind.  He had also planted some incriminating "bomb making manuals" in his house at Tulsi Vrindavan.  The verdict was a foregone conclusion.  

As proof, that he was a terrorist, the British government submitted frivolously  in court that Babarao had worn his dhoti in a particular fashion and was also wearing the langot (small inner loin garment) in a peculiar manner!

Justice BC Kennedy pronounced the judgement on 08 June 1909. He grandly ruled: “The Penal Code has given me very little leeway to decide the quantum of the punishment. Under section 121, I sentence Ganesh Damodar Savarkar to Transportation for Life or kaala pani ( lit: black waters; incarceration in the black hole of the Andamans) and order forfeiture of his entire property and - “Under section 124A, I sentence him to two years’ rigorous imprisonment. This sentence has to be served simultaneously with the sentence given under section 121.” 

Babarao was now made to don the prisoner’s garb and the yellow cap meant for the Kaala Pani prisoners.

On 09 June 1909, a telegram was sent from Nashik to London informing the news of Babarao’s overseas transportation.  The news created a wave of seething anger among the Indian revolutionaries in London.  

On 01 July 1909,  a patriot Madanlal Dhingra assassinated Curzon Wylie at a public meeting in London.

How many of you know of an Indian by the name of Dhingra?  All you know is Sonia Gandhi, Ambika Soni, Anand Sharma , Kapil Sibal , BR Ambedkar, Teesta Setalvad etc , right?

05 July 1909, a meeting was held in Caxton Hall to condemn Madan Lal Dhingra. Aga Khan was in the Chair. The motion was proposed by Bhavanagari and seconded by Amir Ali.  Aga Khan put the motion to vote. 

After seeing many raised hands, he declared that the motion was passed unanimously. Savarkar stood up and cried, " No, not unanimously. There are opponents of the motion as well. Take down my name, it is Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.  I oppose this motion.” 

A Eurasian named Palmer hit Veer Savarkar near his eye making him bleed profusely .  Savarkar said, "I still oppose the motion."  

M P T Acharya, a friend of Savarkar then hammered Palmer with a stick.  Surendranath Banerjee , a known British stooge , ( who would be knighted later ) expressed his fake anger. He said " Vinayak Savarkar has a right to have his say. It is outrageous to attack him.”  

Vinayak Savarkar wanted to Dhingra's ashes to be respectfully collected and sent to India for immersion in Indian rivers .

Several members of Secretary Morley's Council favoured life imprisonment rather than the death sentence for Dhingra. They feared that his martyrdom would ignite further acts of retribution. 

Dhingra's valour infuriated King Emperor Edward VII.  In a letter dated 17 August 1909, he wrote to Morley that Indians be barred from coming to England without valid reason. Such students learn treason while in England and incite others back home, he fumed.

In his memoirs, Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, the British poet and writer who also served in the Diplomatic Service writes (entry dated 24 July 1909) writes, "No Christian martyr ever faced his judges more fearlessly or with greater dignity...if India could produce five hundred such sons, as resolute without fear, she would achieve her freedom". 

It was recorded in medical evidence at the trial, that, when arrested, Dhingra's pulse beat no quicker than normal, nor from first to last, has he shown any sign of weakening."   False rumors were spread by the British that he had Bhang and hence his pulse was strong and steady. 

On the day of Dhingra's martyrdom, leaflets entitled 'Ireland Honours Dhingra' were distributed and pasted on walls in Ireland. 

Back home in India, the Deputy Superintendent of Police Guyder threw the bait to Babarao “We have arrested your two brothers. Tell me the names of revolutionaries and their addresses in Nashik. If you provide this information, we will release you and your brothers..We will ensure your protection after your release and provide a monthly pension to you. Do not be afraid.

It was unthinkable for Babarao to expose his colleagues for selfish reasons.  Seeing Babarao smiling , Guyder  threatened Babarao. Guyder cried “ If you do NOT give me a list and full information, be assured that you will get a second Transportation “

Babarao laughed and said “The question of a second transportation would arise, only if I survive the first one, right? .  So why bother? 

Guyder was furious “ I understand your clever witticisms. Remember, the name is Guyder. I have seen several patriots like you and have brought them to heel with whiplashes. Will you open your mouth or not? Do you see what I have with me?” 

And he showed the electric shock device with wires. The mere sight of these electric wires was enough to make the most hardened criminals soil their pants . 

Guyder asked thrice and gave shocks after every negative answer he got  . All three times his body flexed like a bent bow in excruciating pain , but not a word escaped from Babarao’s lips.  Guyder had to accept defeat.  As Babarao turned to limp back to his cell, Guyder could not but help exclaim, “Brave bloody fella!”

The residents of Nashik had immense respect for Babarao. To demoralize them, the British paraded Babarao in fetters.  Babarao, the lion, was paraded in disgrace through the streets of Nashik with his hands and feet in handcuffs and fetters, the yellow cap serving a dire warning and striking terror in the hearts of all onlookers.  

For melodramatic and sarcastic effect they made him carry a bundle of his clothes, plate and water pot balanced precariously on his back.  Smirking armed guards walked in front and behind him.  

Babarao braved this humiliation with fortitude.  People in tears lined up on both sides of the street to have his last darshan, before was shipped off.

Ganesh Damodar Savarkar was sentenced to life imprisonment and deportation, overseas at Andamans. He was transported to Andamans on the ship MV.Maharaja. This ship would make nine trips to the Andamans in a year and transport prisoners from Madras , Calcutta  and Rangoon to the Andamans. 

In the underbelly of this ship was a long and narrow cage. Prisoners would be packed like sardines in this cage and chained..The stench in the ship's ill ventilated compartment was unbearable.

I would suggest to every patriotic Indian , to visit this jail, like how Muslims have to go to Mecca.  Only then you will understand why you and your children are free and happy today.  

I have seen this Cellular jail at Port Blair, myself.

The Cellular Jail was completed in 1906 and the number of prisoners it housed was as high as 14086 . Like an predator octopus having eight arms to catch its prey, the Cellular Jail had seven protruding arms or wings from the central watchtower.The Jail was constructed with seven wings, spreading out like a seven-petal flower. In its centre it had a tower with a turret. 

Connected to this were the three storey high seven wings with 698 isolated cells. That is why it was called the Cellular Jail. Each wing had three floors with 698 cells. Each cell measured 4.1 by 1.9 metres, just enough for one convict. These small cells gave the Cellular Jail its name.  All the seven wings of the Cellular Jail had a meeting point at the central watchtower for entry and exit. 

Each cell had separate iron bolts and locking devices outside, beyond the reach of the prisoner’s hand. Though there was no chance of an escape, there was constant vigil by 21 wardens; seven on each floor facing their respective wings. 

There were sentries in the central watchtower. To minimize the chances of communication between the convicts and to isolate them from each other, the construction of the Cellular Jail was made such that the front portion of each wing faced the back side of the other wing at a sufficient distance.

There were no dormitories in the Cellular Jail. On arrival in th cellular Jail, convicts would be placed in solitary confinement for six months. This helped to tone down their vigour and vitality and demoralize them. 

Thus the Cellular Jail was a prison within a prison!

In March 1868, 238 prisoners tried to escape from Cellular jail.  By April they were all caught.  One committed suicide and of the remainder Superintendent Walker ordered 87 to be hanged.  

There was a solitary first strike , before the mass second strike under the leadership of Babarao.  Mahavir Singh, an associate of Bhagat Singh (Lahore conspiracy case) protested the inhuman treatment meted to the prisoners and sat in hunger strike. He was force fed milk which went into his lungs and he died. He was tied to a stone and thrown in the sea.

The Empire of Japan invaded the Andaman islands in 1942 and drove the British out. The Cellular Jail then became home to British prisoners. During this period, Subhas Chandra Bose also visited the islands. Two out of the seven wings of the Jail were demolished during the Japanese regime. In 1945, the British resumed control with the end of World War II.  

Another two wings of the jail were demolished after India achieved independence, with Nehru’s connivance. 

This led to protests from several former prisoners and political leaders who saw it as a way of erasing the tangible evidence of their persecution.  The remaining three wings and the central tower were therefore converted into a National Memorial in 1969.   The centenary of the jail's completion was marked on 10 March 2006.  Many erstwhile prisoners were felicitated on this occasion by the Government of India. They were taken in SCI ships as passengers.

Babarao would be at Andamans like a living corpse in a tiny cell  for the next 25 years-- as per the British sentence. 

The infamous Irish jailor Barrie, the terror of the Cellular Jail was apprised of the arrival of Babarao Ganesh , to give him special treatment.  He sought out Ganesh and loudly explained to him the rules and regulations of the Cellular Jail. “If you break rules, remember you will have to deal with me” he threatened.

He spent most of his time in doing CHAKKI PEESING or extracting oil from coconuts--hard labour throughout the day. The prisoner would be yoked like a bullock to the metal bar and made to push it around in a circle so that dried coconut pieces kept in a central receptacle would get crushed and oil would drip

After he did his part of chakki peesing, he would be handcuffed to a hook on the wall at his height. The cook was a Muslim, and a British informer, who would put light doses of Kerosene in the food, giving him bloody stools with mucous, and making his dehydrated and weak.  When Babarao Ganesh passed stools while hanging on his wrists, the jailer would beat him up for dirtying the place.

The other political prisoners, all knew the worth of Ganesh Savarkar. They tried their best to make him comfortable. They would weave bundles of the coarse coconut husk and throw it towards Babarao so as to lighten his burden, on weaving day.  In helping Babarao, the other prisoners were risking terrible torture, and beatings by the warden . Knowing this Babarao would refuse help from his fellow prisoners.

Jackson tortured Vaman Sakharam Khare, a well-known lawyer, for pleading for Ganesh and Khare lost his mental balance when his property was confiscated by Jackson and sent to jail. 

He got he due from Anant Laxman Kanhere.

Kanhere , a 19 year old student took a pistol and emptied it on Jackson on the night of 21 December, 1909 at the Vijayanand Theatre, Nashik. In his declaration, Kanhere said, “I have just done my duty. Jackson was instrumental in the deportation of Ganesh Baburao Savarkar"

Kanhere’s dignity and courage in the face of certain death moved even the sentencing judge Justice Heeton to exclaim, “What a pity that I have to send such a handsome and courageous youth to the gallows.”

   

Babarao was married at the age of 13 to “Yesuvahini”.  He was a yogi and used to practise austerities such as surviving on ghee and water only a full month, and remaining awake for long times without sleeping, to expand his consciousness. 

There is no coming to consciousness without pain and penance.

Yesuvahini used to live in the upper storey of the Datar family house in Nashik. The police came and confiscated the household items including her Puja items.—they exactly knew what they were doing. .It was Yesuvahini’s habit not to touch food or water without performing puja and watering the tulsi plant.

Tears streaming from here eyes, she went to the local cemetery and lay down. She was childless and young. Her husband Babarao Ganesh Savarkar was transported to Kaala Pani for life.  After noon, a kind woman gave her some puja vessels and Yesuvahini returned ,performed her daily rituals and ate food. .

The Datars looked after Yesuvahini till her death.  Madame Cama used to send Rs 30 every month, which Yesuvahini gave to Narayanrao.  Of this, Baburao’s youngest brother Narayanrao would spend Rs. 15 on his own education and Rs.15 would be given for Yesuvahini’s upkeep.

Meanhile Narayanrao was arrested on the false charges of throwing a bomb on the viceroy Minto . This  arrest took away Yesuvahini’s last moral support.  For this childless woman, Narayanrao was like her own son .  Narayanrao was released by the British on 18 December 1909.

Narayanrao was arrested again on the midnight of 23 December.  He was mercilessly tortured.  In London, the other brother Vinayak Tatyarao Savarkar was arrested for his alleged role in the Nashik conspiracy  (to kill Jackson ).  On 24 December 1910, Vinayak Savarkar was sentenced to transportation for life at Cellular jail Andamans Islands , and Narayanrao was sentenced to six months rigorous imprisonment.

Virtually every patriotic young man in Nashik was placed in handcuffs.  A reign of terror was let loose in Nashik.  People for their own survival started shunning any one was linked directly or indirectly to revolutionary activities.   

People now turned their backs on Yesuvahini, as the police were watching every inch of her movements. The poet Govind had composed a moving poem specially for Yesuvahini. The first line of the song was “sankati raksha mama kaant kaant” (“protect me from crisis, dear husband”).

Narayanrao completed his prison sentence and was released.  No college was willing to admit him.  He went to Calcutta and somehow secured admission in the National Medical College.  Calcutta was far from Nasik.  He was watched all the time. In 1912, when a bomb was hurled in Delhi on Lord Hardinge, he was arrested and brought to Pune but was released after a few days. In 1916, he qualified as a doctor and married Shantabhai. 

Yesuvahini led a frugal life. She had two sets of worn out clothes.. She had lost all interest in life and was malnourished.  Her health was now failing.  In 1918,  her whole body was swolled and she was bed ridden. Narayanrao and his wife Shantabai were by her side when her end came. 

Yesuvahini had become delirious. . She gave one last pitiful glance at Narayanrao and passed away on 20 April 1919 .  Three days after she died, an official letter arrived from the British, morbid mockery at its best “There is no objection to Yashodabai Savarkar going to the Andamans to meet her husband”. This type of a foul "cock a snook"  move is unthinkable in Sanatana Dharma or in any cultured society.

From the warden to the clerk, most of the jail officers in the Cellular Jail were Muslims. They would collude with Barrie and prove their loyalty to him by committing atrocities on the prisoners. They would induce the prisoners to embrace Islam by threatening them with punishment , luring them with tobacco and giving them food which was NOT laced with kerosene and human sweat..

On an average, two or three Hindu prisoners would get converted in every month.  To get food without Kerosene and wringed out sweat , converted Muslim prisoners would no longer dine with their fellow Hindu prisoners but would openly dine with Muslim prisoners.

One day unable to tolerate the continuous smell of kerosene in his food, Ganesh threw his food away.  This sudden act smashed the flood gates of human emotion . Soon discontent became a full blown revolt.  Throwing away food by prisoners was considered to be a grave offence. Prisoners would be forced to eat up the last morsel of thrown food from the floor . Babarao resolutely refuse to eat the food from the floor.

Babarao thus took the lead in this first ever mass strike at Cellular jail. Barrie singled out Nandgopal, and Babarao as the leaders .  Babarao was punished on cross bar fetters and standing handcuffs for a week. They were given nothing to eat for twelve days except for thin gruel laced with quinine...The strike went on for several days. In the end, it was Barrie and the British who had to relent--as hanging enmasse was NOT an option.

Barre agreed to stop the chakki (kolu) punishment, give light work and send the political prisoners outside the Cellular Jail to do work, as was the case with other prisoners. The strike was called off.   Babarao was spared of the kolu,  and made to break dry coconuts. 

Each prisoner was given to read one book at a time if he so desired. The prisoners were not expected to exchange books. If they did so, they were punished.. Before the strike only one letter to home ( and that too censored ) per year was allowed.

Babarao’s younger brother Vinayak Tatyarao arrived at the Cellular Jail on 04 July 1911.

Savarkar brothers Babarao and Vinayak didn't know of each other in the same jail but in different cells, for nearly two years.

The news that Tatyarao was also lodged in the Cellular Jail was broken to Babarao by Wamanrao Joshi who had been sentenced to Transportation for Life in the Jackson murder case. Vinayak of course knew that his elder brother was somewhere in the jail.

  

Tatyarao finally succeeded in meeting Babarao. The brothers had last met in 1906 when Tatyarao was ready to depart from Mumbai harbour to go to England to become a barrister. They were now meeting 5 years later in 1911 under totally different circumstances.

The coronation of King George V and Queen May (or Queen Mary as she was later called ) took place at Westminster Abbey on 22 June 1911.  Later that year, the King and Queen travelled to India for the Delhi Durbar on 12 December, where they were presented to an assembled audience of Indian dignitaries and princes as the Emperor and Empress of India.  

George wore the newly-created Imperial. Crown of India at the ceremony. He would show that he was in charge of the destiny of India. He went for a quick win.

The King gave carrot and stick largesse.  The British government would release all political prisoners as a goodwill gesture.  All the prisoners were lined up. Barrie and the jail superintendent marched in. Each prisoner was called ceremoniously and the extent of commutation of his sentence was announced. When Babarao’s turn came, one measly month was reduced from each year of his jail sentence.

By August 1918,  Baburao’s weight had dropped down to a mere 42 kilos and he had shooting pain from his gall bladder.  Towards the end of 1919, when he could no longer walk, the jail superintendent sent

Babarao’s sputum for examination. The doctors diagnosed tuberculosis.  Initially, political prisoners would not be sent to hospital, they were left to die. 

Due to the strike by the political prisoners, and due to orders from Britain, the jail officials gradually started sending sick political prisoners to hospital.  Even Vinayak Tatyarao was kept in hospital for one year when he fell ill.  But Babarao was not so fortunate .Neither did he receive any medicines nor was he sent to hospital. Even when he had fever of 102 ºF, diarrhea and cough, he was made to do hard labour.

Back home the youngest brother, Narayanrao made earnest efforts to secure the release of his two elder brothers Babarao and Tatyarao.  Babarao’s first letter from the Andamans reached Narayanrao in July 1912.  

On 24 December 1919, the Bombay Government said that it was willing to consider the proposal for clemency in case of all political prisoners except the Savarkar brothers! In a telegram dated 30 December 1919, the Government of India seconded the opinion that the Savarkar brothers be excluded from general clemency.

In February 1920, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhara Tilak himself wrote directly to Montague demanding that Tatyarao be freed. In a memorandum dated 30 March 1920, Savarkar listed various reasons why Babarao Vinayak and he should be released. The Bombay Government could not care less.

In 1920, the National Union presented a memorandum to the government demanding the release of the Savarkar brothers. The memorandum had 70000 signatures.  In February 1920 the Government refused to accept this petition on the flimsy grounds that it was not addressed to the Cabinet Minister for India--just a sham excuse. 

In an article entitled Savarkar brothers written in Young India dated 26 May 1920, Mahatma Gandhi supported the demand for their release of the Savarkar brothers.  Mahatma Gandhi had the power -- British would listen only to him.   So the people of India were forced to follow Gandhiji. Gandhiji was their type of freedom fighter. He was non-violent. 

It was now well known in India that Ganesh Babarao Savarkar would die soon of gall bladder inflammation. Already Kanhare and Dhingra had shown what could happen to the British when it came to Ganesh Savarkar.  . 

Babarao and Tatyarao were now asked to pack their belongings.. There was happiness and celebrations in Cellular jail.  Many cried with joy, some brought flowers, others gave gifts. The brothers were moved.  In his farewell address,Tatyarao Vinayak , the lawyer from Britain,  gave a message to those present: “Ek dev, ek desh, ek aashaa, Ek jaati, ek jeev, ek bhaashaa” (“One god, one country, one aspiration, One community, one life, one language”)

On 02 May 1921, the guard told them that a posse of guards had arrived to accompany them to the mainland. Both Babarao and Tatyarao were made to stand near the gates of the Cellular Jail. They were handed over to their new guards. The guard said that it was not necessary to bind them in fetters any more.  Babarao had entered these gates in 1910, Tatyarao had followed him in 1911..

The two brothers started walking towards the sea to board MV. Maharaja to a tearfull farewell. After a horrible sea crossing , when they saw India’s coastline, Tatyarao exclaimed to Babarao, “Baba, look at Bharat mata” . Both stood up and folded their hands in reverence.“Swatantryalakshmi ki jai Vande Mataram!! ( Salute to the Goddess of Liberty! Salute to the Motherland!!).

After landing in Calcutta, the two brothers were kept for fifteen days in Alipore jail.  On 26 May 1921, they were separated.  Babarao was escorted by two British guards and dragged away as he could not walk because of the gall bladder pain.  Tatyarao wondered if this was the last time he would be seeing his brother alive. 

Babarao was put in a train.. After two days, he was in another jail.. It was then that he was told that this was Bijapur jail for solitary confinement.  Two guards led Babarao through a narrow tunnel and thrown into a dark dungeon full of mosquitoes and insects-- retribution for the strike he lead at the Cellular jail. 

Just when he was thinking positive , that at least there is no chakki to peese , the petty warden and a couple of guards thrust a huge wheat grinder and a sack of wheat into the cell. “That is your punishment. If you do not grind this wheat to fine powder in another 8 hours,  you shall receive further punishment ”

For last twelve years,  Babarao had been subjected to the worst torture and he could NOT even stand . Diarrhoea, migraine, cough and tuberculosis were all slowly wasting away his body.  But Babarao’s spirit and pride was uncommon.  He mustered his last reserves and started grinding the chakki.  Ganesh spent another five months in Bijapur laboring this way.  The period from November 1921 to January 1922 was spent at the doorstep of death. 

It was in the beginning of December 1921 that the youngest brother Narayanrao finally got permission to meet Babarao. When he went to meet Babarao in jail  the warden rudely told him, “Take off your bloody  Gandhi cap. You cannot see him that way.”  Infuriated by this insult, Narayanrao turned back without meeting Babarao.  He shot off telegrams to the Viceroy, District Magistrate and to all the newspapers. The Government had to relent.  Narayanrao had his way. 

But what Narayanrao now saw before him was almost a living corpse. Babarao could not speak more than a minute at a time before he would become breathless and he could not look at the light. When Narayanrao reached Mumbai, he publicized the harrowing treatment being meted out to Babarao with the assistance of Horniman of Bombay Chronicle. 

This had the desired effect. Towards the end of January 1922, Babarao was shifted out of the horrible Bijapur Jail.  He was promptly lodged in the Sabarmati Jail.  Babarao had spent the period from May 1921 to January 1922 in Bijapur Jail. These eight months of solitary confinement were even more terrible than the years in the Cellular Jail.  

On January 1922, Babarao was shifted to the Sabarmati Jail again in solitary confinement.

The other inmates of Sabarmati jail were convinced that Babarao would not recover . The Sindhi leader Jairamdas Daulatram felt that a great man like  Babarao must not die this way.  He wrote a report on Babarao’s condition with the intention of sending it to Narayanrao. One of prison officials kindly agreed to smuggle it out of prison at his own risk.

He took the letter and went straight to the Gandhi ashram in Sabarmati. He met a Maharashtrian Gandhian named Kakarnamak and asked him to post the letter from Karnavati  (now Ahmedabad).  This precaution was taken just in case the letter was found and the sender was traced. 

The prison official explained to Kakarnamak that a fellow Maratha , Babarao Savarkar, the great revolutionary was counting his last moments in Sabarmati Jail. The letter written to his younger brother would give Babarao the satisfaction of dying on his brother’s lap. 

That “true Gandhian” replied  , the way he was tutored , “I am a follower of Gandhi and a firm believer in truth and non-violence. Doing clandestine activities is against our philosophy and hence tantamount to sin. Forgive me. I shall not be able to comply with your request.”

The prison official was dumb-struck and dismayed at the Gandhian’s attitude. He turned back without a word, gave money to a total stranger and asked him to post the letter at Karnavati. 

At the time , the national leadership had passed into the hands of Mahatma Gandhi-- and Gandhiji did NOT want any Babarao Ganesh Savarkar around.  

Netaji Bose would understand what I mean.

The letter reached Narayanrao. On reading its contents, Narayanrao started running from pillar to post to arrange for Babarao’s medical treatment.  A Civil Surgeon landed in Sabarmati Jail to examine Babarao. The Civil Surgeon examined Babarao from 9.00 am to 2.00 pm. He opined that Babarao may live for another 1-2 days at the most.

He conveyed his opinion to the Administrator. Fearing that the Government would be answerable if Babarao were to die within the four walls of the prison, the Administrator promptly issued orders for Babarao’s release. He also wrote to Narayanrao, “Your brother has been released .Make your own arrangements to take him away from Sabarmati Jail.”

It was only after the Government was convinced that Babarao would surely die that he was finally released. He was brought out of jail on a stretcher. As he was being taken out, Bhansali embraced Babarao and began sobbing like a child. There was not a dry eye around.

Babarao finally emerged out of Sabarmati jail on a stretcher. He had entered jail in June 1909. It was in September 1922 that he was finally released . Babarao thus spent over thirteen years in prison under the most harrowing conditions. But the toll was severe . This mountain of a virile yogi had become a virtual corpse.

  

Babarao under brotherly love and care, defied logic and death . He miraculously survived.  

He was destined to live for another twenty-three years.

The spirit of Babarao was intact. The year was 1923.  Mamarao Joglekar, the eminent Hindu leader from Akola (Maharashtra) was traveling from Kalyan to Nashik by train.  Seated opposite to him was Professor Damodar Ganesh Padhye from Nashik.  As the train halted at a station, Padhye alighted from the train to buy some fruits.  He kept his pugree (traditional Maharashtrian headgear) and umbrella on his seat and left his seat.

As soon as he alighted, a burly Pathan shifted from his seat, threw away his belongings and sat there in his place. When Padhye came back, he was surprised to see the Pathan there. Padhye pleaded with the Pathan to allow him to occupy his rightful place. However, the arrogant Pathan started acting tough abusing frail Padhye.

Suddenly, a sickly frail passenger who was sitting two places away got up and leaped on the Pathan. Apparently trained in wrestling he brought down the Pathan in a moment and sitting on the Pathan’s chest, started raining blows on him.  Next, he tugged so hard at the Pathan’s beard that a handful of hair came off. And that snapped the Pathan back to reality.

The Pathan started howling in pain. Terrified, he beat a hasty retreat. Shouting “Tobaa, Tobaa, Ya Allah”, the Pathan went to another compartment .

Mamarao Joglekar who was a witness to this remarkable incident asked the sickly passenger his name.

“My name is Baba Ganesh Savarkar” was the reply!

  

A new phase in Babarao’s life started.  This was the phase as thinker, writer and organizer. Till he died Babarao devoted himself to the task of awakening Hindu society . He tried his best to close the fissures a fellow Maharashtrian , a Mahar by the name of BR Ambedkar, as a stooge of the British,  introduced to Hindu society..

  

Babarao wrote the book Rashtramimansa va Hindusthanche rashtraswaroop in 1931 when he was in Kashi. This is widely regarded as his bestwork.  He would start an freedom fighting organisation by the name of RSS .  Babarao would design the flag of RSS.  He would write the pledge for RSS.

Towards the end of 1924, Babarao arrived in Nagpur. He was put up at the residence of Advocate Vishwanathrao Kelkar who was his distant relative and Dr. Hedgewar’s close friend. Babarao used to attract patriotic youngsters wherever he went. His stay in Nagpur saw several youngsters visiting him and discussing the state of the sad state of India and Hindu society.

Among these youngsters was Dr. Hedgewar. Babarao became convinced that there was no one more suitable than Dr. Hedgewar to carry forward the freedom fighting activities . Dr. Hedgewar translated his long cherished dream into reality on Vijayadashmi day in 1925.  This was the beginning of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

RSS would counter the propaganda of BR Ambedkar , by deeds.  BR Ambedkar , on behalf of the British would be shouting from the rooftops about Britsih rule being better for the lower castes than self rule. 

There was NIL casteism in RSS.  The RSS cadres knew not nor cared not who was Brahmin and who was untouchable.  They ate together and slept together. They drank water from the same tumbler. 

This was a time when the British started hanging the Indian freedom fighters enmasse, for flimsy reasons , using traitor Muslim Indians as connivers and false witnesses. .

Mahatma Gandhi said  "When I visited the RSS Camp, I was very much surprised by your discipline and absence of untouchablity." He personally inquired to low caste Swayamsevaks and found that they were living and eating together in the camp without bothering to know their castes.  This was Utopia .

   

Even a high strung character like BR Ambedkar, who could NOT see outside the Dalit prism, admitted " This is the first time that I am visiting the camp of Sangh volunters. I am happy to find absolute equality between Savarniyas (Upper cast) and Harijans (Lower cast) without any one being aware of such difference existing. When I asked asked Dr Hedgewar whether there were any untouchables in the camp, he replied that there are neither "touchables" nor "untouchables" but only Hindus.”.

BR Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi knew in their hearts, that their Harijan uplift theory was only on paper, and only RSS had the means and power to convert it into practise. Since when has deeds become less important than words?   

Babarao often wondered why Gandhiji placed Sanskrit after Arabic, Persian and Urdu in order of importance. He felt sad at the way Gandhiji appeased the Muslims and had underhand dealings with the British.

BR Ambedkar who was groomed by Winston Churchill to drive a wedge into the heart of Hinduism, was sent for Higher education to Opium drug funded Columbia University, owned by British East India Company.  He was ironically given Bharat Ratna.  

BR Ambedkar did NOT want British to leave India.  He did NOT spend a single minute of his life in any freedom struggle.  I dare anybody to prove me wrong. When the entire nation had risen against the British in 1857, only the Mahar caste of BR Ambedkar, has supported the British, along with the Sikhs. Rest everbody including Muslims fought against Britain.

Gandhi’s treachery against the revolutionaries and Gandhi’s efforts to crown the rabid Islamic Nizam as the sovereign of a future sovereign Hindusthan,  and the appeasement policies pursued by the Congress deeply pained Babarao.

In 1924-25, Babarao was in Dhantoli (Nagpur) to recuperate from illness. There, he met a scholar from Andhra Pradesh who had a treasure of information on Jesus from old Sanskrit archives.  The scholar mentioned to Babaraothat Ramaswamy Iyer, a resident of Madras (now Chennai) had done some research which proved that Jesus was a  Hindu.  It is a well known fact that Jesus was in Kerala for three years learning Ayurveda, mediation and healing , before he burst upon the scene at Jerusalem suddenly as a full grown adult.

As evidence to show that Christ came to Hindusthan,  Babarao mentions books such as Naatha-Naamaavali, Tarikh-i-Ajam, Ikmaba Udadinan d Barlan the Josephet.  Babarao too concluded that Jesus was a Hindu.. He exhorted  the Christians in Hindusthan to accept the fact that they are not different from the Hindus but members of a cult established by a Hindu philosopher , like Buddha..

Babarao’s well-wishers would then warn him that he would lose popularity and be shunned by the people at large and Congressmen in particular if he continued to criticize Gandhi. Babarao would calmly reply that he had forsaken his home ,hearth and wife for the sake of his motherland.  He would continue to expose Gandhi’s anti- Hindu activities, and the truth, even if that meant inviting contempt and ridicule.

On 14 March, 1945, he lost the ability to speak. He could barely breathe. His whole body was swollen. When he was shifted from his sickbed, hundreds of red ants were found on the mattress. The attending doctors gave up hope.  

On 16 March, Babarao’s sense of pain vanished. .He passes away at around 2.15 pm.   

Thousands  of people started pouring from different villages and towns.  A massive funeral procession started and lakhs of people including Muslims and Christians , showered flowers at different places. The Bhagwa flag of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh was lowered at half-mast and the Sangh prayer was sung.

Then Dr. Narayanrao Savarkar lit the pyre and the flames engulfed Babarao’s lifeless body. Keeping the funeral pyre as witness, thousands of Indians vowed to carry on the sacred life mission of Babarao -- ‘maa phaleshu kadaachana’ ( expect not the fruit -- the Bhagwad Gita ).

Back in London-- 

On 17th Aug 1909, a Christian preacher named Hudson walked up to Dhinghra to say a final Christian prayer for him.   But Dhingra turned him away saying that he was a Hindu.  The Deputy Under-Sheriff of London Metcalf read out the death warrant to Dhingra in the presence of Deputy Governor Hales of Pentonville prison and asked him the usual questions. 

But Dhingra ignored their questions and walked calmly to the noose. His bravery left the accompanying offcers dumb-founded. Officer Pierpoint stood at the hangman's noose waiting for Dhingra. Dhingra smiled at him and ascended the steps to the platform. He himself placed the noose round his neck. 

Soon thereafter, the wooden platform underneath was withdrawn. Dhingra's body dropped eight feet and lay hanging. As per convention, his limp body was left hanging for half an hour. When his body was brought down, the face was smiling. 

He had avenged the illegal deportation to Kaala pani, of a great Indian patriot by the name of Ganesh Babarao Savarkar. 

Dhingra wished that last rites according to Hindu Dharma should be performed on his dead body and it should be cremated.  Many Hindus petitioned to the Home Secretary Mr Herbert Gladstone that Dhingra's body should be handed over to them, as several Brahmins were ready to perform the last rites. 

This request was denied!  The last wish of a man sent to the gallows was denied--such was British justice!  His body was put in a coffin, which was buried within the prison premises.

After Dhingra went to the gallows, the Times, London wrote an editorial (24 July 1909) titled 'Conviction of Dhingra".  The editorial said, "The nonchalance displayed by the assassin was of a character, which is happily unusual in such trials in this country. He asked no questions. He maintained a defiance of studied indifference. He walked smiling from the Dock."

  

Madanlal Dhingra’s final statement was as inspiring as his actions. Titled ‘Challenge’ it read as follows:

Challenge

1. "I admit the other day; I attempted to shed English blood as an humble revenge for the inhuman hangings and deportations of patriotic Indian youths. In this attempt, I have consulted none but my own conscience; I have conspired with none, but my own duty.

2. "I believe that a nation held down in bondage with the help of foreign bayonets is in a perpetual state of war. Since open battle is rendered impossible to a disarmed race, I attacked by surprise; since guns were denied to me, I drew forth my pistol and fired.

3. "As a Hindu I felt that a wrong done to my country is an insult to God. Her cause is the cause of Sri Ram! Her services are the services of Sri Krishna! Poor in health and intellect, a son like myself has nothing else to offer to the Mother but his own blood and so I have sacrificed the same on her altar.

4. "The only lesson required in India at present is to learn how to die and the only way to teach it, is by dying ourselves. Therefore I die and glory in my martyrdom! This war of Independence will continue between India and England, so long as the Hindu and the English races last (if the present unnatural relation does not cease!)

5. "My only prayer to God is: May I be reborn of the same Mother and may I redie in the same sacred cause, till the cause is successful and she stands free for the good of humanity and the glory of God!"

 -Vande Mataram-

Dhingra's martyrdom evoked the respect of some members of the Cabinet. This was disclosed later to Blunt by Winston Churchill. Blunt writes (My Diaries, Vol.2, p. 288, entry for 03 October 1909), 

"Again we sat up late. Among the many memorable things Churchill said was this. Talking of Dhingra, he said that there has been much discussion in the Cabinet about him. Lloyd George had expressed to him his highest admiration of Dhingra's attitude as a patriot, in which he shared…" He will be remembered two thousand years hence, as we remember Regulus and Caractacus and Plutarch's heroes and Churchill quoted with admiration Dhingra's last words, as the finest, ever made in the name of patriotism…"

   

“I do not care for my life. You are all powerful. You can do what you like.   But remember, that one day India shall be powerful and then we shall do what we like" were his last words when the English judge read his sentence.

During his brief stay in London, Gandhi, the much-touted apostle of non violence, deplored Madanlal Dhingra and other revolutionaries to please the British, declared them anarchists and said, “Is killing honourable?  Is the dagger of an assassin a fit precursor of an honourable death?”

Dhingra’s martyrdom and his last statement evoked widespread sympathy and admiration in Ireland.  Posters entitled “Ireland Honours Dhingra” along with the last statement adorned the walls in Ireland.

Madan Lal Dhingra'scoffin was exhumed on 12 December 1976 in the presence of Natwar Singh, then Acting High Commissioner for India and the coffin flown back to India. 

Madan Lal Dhingra lives on in the hearts of his country men. 



Now, some doodh ka doodh paani ka paani--

The cry JAI HIND was NOT coined by Netaji Bose.  It was made by Dr Champakaraman Pillai ,  who formed the Berlin Committee in Germany to assist freedom fighters before the 1^st World war . He  had direct dealings with Hitler. He died on May 28th, 1934 under suspicious circumstances , because he asked for a written apology from Hitler with a deadline, for derogatory reference to Indians in his book Mein Kamph.. His ashes were scattered in Karamana River in Thiruvananthapuram.  His ashes could not be brought in before, due to objections from Gandhiji and Nehru . The Indian Navy's warship, I.N.S. Delhi, flying the flag of Free India, brought the great patriot Pillai's ashes to Cochin on September 16, 1966.   He had come to Madras on German battleship, SS Emden and angrez ka ghar mein ghuske maara.  

Rash Behari Bose was in Japan taking shelter with Mitsuru Toyama, head of the dreaded Yakuza.

Bagha Jatin the great patriot was in charge in India —the Bengal Tiger of India.

Pandit Shyamaji Krishnavarma, formed  Indian Home Rule Society, India House in London . His ashes too were rejected by Gandhi and Nehru.  Finally Bollywood actor Vinod Khanna , Narendra Modi , and others etc pulled levers, and this great patriot's ashes was officially handed over to the Chief Minister of Gujarat State on August 22, 2003,  by the Ville de Genève and the Swiss government, 55 years after Indian Independence.

Well what do we know?-- the young generation knows Diggi Vijay , Ambika Soni , Anand Sharma , Kapil Sibal etc , right?

ARE THERE ARE MORE OF SUCH 

PATRIOTS IN INDIA?

Grace and peace!
