Jat Heroes Who Made History

Jats fought for freedom of the nation from the British yoke not only in India but also from foreign soils. First Raja Mahendra Pratap founded Free India Government at Kabul in 1916.

When Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose re-raised INA, thousands of Jat soldiers of British Indian Army deserted their units en masse, and under his command fought against the British. One of the three generals of INA was Mr. Dhillon, who were put under trial. The trial proceedings further intensified anti-British feelings in the armed forces, that was one of the major causes that forced them to free India.


Let us join to salute all of these freedom fighters on the Birth anniversary of Netaji today.

A good reminder. Raja Mahendra Pratap was perhaps the only Indian who continuously worked for the independence of India from foreign soils. But what stands out clear is that he was never in favour of foreign toops in India to figh our battle. There is a message in it.
 
We salute all of these freedom fighters !! What is need of the hour is that Raja Mahendra Pratap should find proper place in Indian history and centenary celebration should be organized.

In 1915, through Germany and Turkey, he made his way to Afghanistan. That year in Kabul, along with other Indian revolutionaries he established Provisional Government of Free India. He was the President and Maulana Barkatullah was the Prime Minister. On 1st December 1915, his 28th birthday, he established the first Provisional Government of India at Kabul in Afghanistan, during First World War.

Good idea Burdak Sahib.

The Government of India should chalk out year long celebrations by organising seminars, conferences, symposia and other activities in educational institutions like Universities, Colleges and schools so that present generation could be informed about the life, vision, mission and action of the Great nationalist, Revolutionary freedom Fighter popularly known as Jat Peshawa and Prem Pujari.

Various Jat Institutions also must also act on their own level to spread his message of universal love and world confederation as well.

We do not find any other personality like Raja Mahendra Pratap in History. Some body has posted in social media his chhatri and other monuments which are in very bad shape. There should be a system to preserve them.

The brave Rudra Devi

Rudra Devi (रुद्रादेवी), from Jodhpur (Rajasthan), was a brave lady who fought bravely with scoundrels.

ठाकुर देशराज ने रियासती भारत के जाट जन सेवक, 1949 में पृष्ठ 194-195 पर लिखा है ....रुद्रा देवी – उसने किसी सभा संस्था में शामिल होकर कौम की सेवा नहीं की किंतु पतिव्रत मय साहस से जाट नाम की इज्जत को, जितना उससे बन पड़ा, बढ़ाया है। वह जोधपुर शहर में अपने परिवार के साथ रहती थी। उस के पति का नाम क्या था यह हमें मालूम नहीं है। दिल्ली प्रसिद्ध दैनिक नवयुग में जोधपुर का 25 जुलाई 1934 का निज संवाददाता द्वारा प्रेषित समाचार जो रुद्रा के समाचार में छपा था उसी को हम यहां ज्यों का त्यों प्रकाशित किए देते हैं -


"कल रूद्रा नमक जाट स्त्री का ठाकुर उमेद सिंह फर्स्ट क्लास मजिस्ट्रेट की अदालत में दफा 326 पैनल ग्रेड के मातहत चालान हुआ। किस्सा इस प्रकार बताया जाता है – कहते हैं कि गुंडे रुद्रा जाटनी को बाईजी के तालाब पर तंग किया करते थे। एक दिन वह उस रास्ते से होकर जा रही थी कि एक गुंडा, जिसका नाम मोहम्मद बताया जाता है, ने उस से छेड़छाड़ करनी चाही । रुद्रा ने उस समय गुस्से में अपनी इज्जत को बचाने के लिए उसके ऊपर एक चाकू मार दिया। जिससे उसके चोट आई। इतने में हो हल्ला हो जाने के कारण बाकी के गुंडे वहां से चंपत हो गए। पुलिस ने रुद्रा का चालान चाकू मारने के अपराध में किया है। कोर्ट ने चोधराइन को जमानत पर छोड़ दिया है। गुंडों का सामना करने का है यह पहला ही मौका है। "
