Unknown facts of Indian History

This article I write here today as we at India have fallen to a bad habit of crowning some who think that they are the REAL one's who deserves the throne for everything inspite of the FACT that they are NOTHING. 

This write - up is NOT my VOMIT, and to vomit ,  against the SCIONS of the Gandhi - Nehru family or against them whose Fathers were the Chief Ministers or any other Minister in the Union Government and their son's or their daughter's have taken up a plum post on the basis of their Father under their umbrellas but this article exactly is to throw some light for the Government and the politicians to rethink about the PRIDE and the PLACE that they should confer to them who have been grounded in the dust by the unlawful deeds and the sinful thinking of the people and the Government of India from time to time. 

I fondly recall the little son of Maharani Laxmi Bai and the TWO son's of the late lal Bahadur Shashtri , who were NEVER considered to be WORTH anything by the Congress for them to get what was due for their Father to get and what should have come to them being the WORTHY - SON of their Father . I start my article on the son of Maharani laxmi Bai and then I move down to the entire clan whom I saw at Indore when I was based at Indore, and my article today completely focusses on the clan that Maharani Laxmi Bai left here for them to DIE in the DARK PITCHED shadow for ever. 

Anand Rao 

Everyone remembers his son Damodar Rao (real name Anand Rao) tied on the back of the queen in the last struggle of Jhansi. What happened to that son after the queen's pyre was burnt ? .

He was not a character of a story, he was the prince who lived the most important story of the 1857 rebellion who lived in the same slave India, where he was sworn by his mother's name by forgetting him.

The British had never considered Damodar Rao the heir of Jhansi, so he had no place in the government documents. Most of the Indians have made some true, some wrong description of Subhadra Kumari Chauhan as history.

Damodar Rao's only description was published in the Marathi book ' History Sahali ' (Tour of History) published in 1959

Damodar Rao lived a cursed life after the death of the queen. Not only Firangi, the people of India were also equally responsible for his misery.

Come, let's hear the story of Damodar in the words of Damodar -

I was born on 15 November 1849 in a branch of Navalkar royal family. The astrologer said that there is Raj Yoga in my horoscope and I will become the king. This thing came true in the most unfortunate way in my life. Maharaj adopted me at the age of three. Dad is no more before the formal approval of adoption.

Maa Saheb (Maharani Laxmibai) sent a message to Lord Dalhoji in Calcutta that I should be considered as heir. But it did not happen.

Dalhoji ordered that Jhansi will be joined in British rule. Maa Saheb will be given 5,000 yearly pension. Along with this, all the property of Maharaj will also be with Maa Saheb. After Maa Saheb, my whole right will be on her treasure but I will not get the rule of Jhansi.

Apart from this, seven lakh rupees were also deposited in the British treasure. Firangis said that money will be given to me when I'm a child.

Maa Saheb got martyrdom in the battle of Gwalior. My servants (Ramchandra Rao Deshmukh and Kashi Bai) and others later told me that mother had me sitting on her back in the whole battle. I myself don't remember this properly. After this fight, a total of 60 of our faithful were saved alive.

Little Khan Risaledar, Ganpat Rao, Raghunath Singh and Ramchandra Rao Deshmukh took my responsibility. Headed towards Chanderi of Bundelkhand with 22 horses and 60 camels. We had nothing to eat, cook and stay. We didn't find shelter in any village. In the summer of May-June, we spent the night under the open sky under the trees. Thankfully, due to the fruits of the jungle, there was no time to sleep hungry.

The real problem started with the rain. Impossible to live in a high monsoon in a dense forest. Somehow a village head agreed to give us food. On the advice of Raghunath Rao, we started dividing into 10-10 pieces.

The chief decided the price of one month's ration and not informing the British Army is Rs. 500, 9 horses and four camels. The place we lived was near a waterfall and it was beautiful.

Two years have passed in a glimpse. We had 60,000 rupees when leaving Gwalior, which was now completely finished. I got so sick that everyone thought I wouldn't survive. My people plead with the chief to arrange for a doctor.

I was treated but we weren't allowed to live without money. My people gave 200 rupees to the chief and demanded the animal back. He just gave us 3 horses back. After walking from there we 24 got together.

Villagers identified us as rebel in Shipri, Gwalior. They kept us closed there for three days, then sent us with soldiers to the political agent of Jhalarpatan. My people did not let me walk. He kept me sitting on his back one by one.

Most of our people were put in the madness. Maa Saheb's relative little Khan spoke to a political agent.

He told Mr. Flink that Jhansi Rani Sahiba's child is now 9-10 years old. After Rani Sahiba, she has to spend life like animals in the forests. The government has no harm to the child. Leave it, the whole country will bless you.

Flink was a kind man, he looted us to the government. From there we went to meet Colonel Sir Richard Shakespeare of Indore with our trusts. We had no money left now.

We had to give two pieces of 32 tola of Maa Saheb for the expense of travel and food. The last thing related to Maa Saheb was with us.

After this, on 5 May 1860, Damodar Rao was tied up by the British with a 10,000 yearly pension in Indore. They only allowed seven people to keep them. The British government also refused to return seven lakh rupees.

Damodar Rao's real father's second wife raised him. In 1879, one of his sons was born Laxman Rao. Damodar Rao's days spent in a lot of poverty and anonymity. Even after this, the British kept strong monitoring on them. Along with Damodar Rao, his son Laxmanrao was also not allowed to go out of Indore.

His family members still live with ' Jhansiwale ' surname in Indore. Rani had a step brother Chintamanrao Tambe too. Tambe family lives in Pune at this time. The descendants of the queen of Jhansi live in some other parts of the country other than Indore. They write Jhansi wale with their name. When Damodar Rao Nevalkar reached Indore on 5 May 1860, his aunt who was the real mother of Damodar Rao while living in Indore. Damodar Rao gets married when he grows up, but after some time Damodar Rao's first wife dies. Laxman Rao was born from the second marriage of Damodar Rao. Damodar Rao's nostalgic and difficult life ended on 28 May 1906 in Indore. In the next generation, the sons of Laxman Rao were Krishna Rao and Chandrakant Rao. Krishna Rao's two sons were Manohar Rao, Arun Rao and Chandrakant's three sons Akshay Chandrakant Rao, Atul Chandrakant Rao and Shanti Pramod Chandrakant Rao.

Damodar Rao was a painter. He has made many pictures in the memory of his mother which is the priceless heritage of the Jhansi family.

His descendants Shri Laxman Rao and Krishna Rao used to work as a typist in Indore court! Arun Rao retired from Madhya Pradesh Electricity Board as Junior Engineer in 2002 His son Yogesh Rao is a software engineer. Among the descendants, grandson Arunrao Jhansiwala, his wife Vaishali, son Yogesh and daughter-in-law Preeti's Dhanvantarinagar are middle class families like normal citizens in Indore.

" The smoothies of Congress have sung the saga of Nehru family only. These people have been forgotten who fought the real fight against the British. Let's take it forward and let the people know the truth "!!..??

 

Well , that is it
