सूर्यसेनो हतः #८७

Event occured on 1934-01-12 (gregorian). Masterda Surya Sen (along with colleague Tarakeswar Dastidar) was killed by British (after severe torture) on this day. He led a group of revolutionaries on 18 April 1930 to raid the armoury of police and auxiliary forces from the Chittagong armoury - sadly that had failed.

While hiding, Netra Sen informed the British of his hiding place, and the police came and captured him in February 1933. Before Netra Sen could be rewarded by the British, a revolutionary came into his house and beheaded him with da (a long knife). As Netra Sen’s wife was a big supporter of Surya Sen, she never disclosed the name of the revolutionary who killed Netra Sen.

सर्व-मार्गशीर्ष-अमावास्या (अलभ्यम्–पुष्कला)

शम्भुराजो गोवाया निर्याति #३३७

Event occured on 1684-01-12 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning. When Sambhaji learnt of Muazzam’s arrival to Ramghat, he withdrew all his forces to Raigad on 2 January 1684.

Context: After having laying waste to the outer districts of Salcete and Bardez the Marathas and had started closing in to the Islands of Goa. The viceroy was concerned that if the things remain unchanged, Sambhaji would soon lay siege to the island of Goa. During this time, Muzzam was pillaging through the Maratha territory, as he made his approach towards Sambhaji.

Local corpse-cultists believe that the viceroy went to the body of St. Francis Xavier, in the Bom Jesus church in the City of Goa, and placed his scepter on the dead saint’s hand and prayed for his grace to avert the Maratha threat. This led to an annual Goan celebration by them.

वाञ्छिनाथो हतः #८७

Event occured on 1934-01-12 (gregorian). On this day, vAnchinathan Iyer, inspired by Subramaniam Aiyar and armed by Va Ve Su Iyer accomplice of nIlakaNTha brahmachAri of bhAratamAta-sangha with a gun sent by sAvarkar’s accompalice Madam Cama of Paris Indian Society, shot dead a mlecCha collector Robert Ashe (who had successfully harrassed VO Chidambaram Pillai’s Swadeshi Steam Navigation Company) before killing himself (after pushing away his peon Khadar bAdshAh). His letter:

  • I dedicate my life as a small contribution to my motherland. I am alone responsible for this.
  • The mlechas of England having captured our country, tread over the sanathana dharma of the Hindus and destroy them. Every Indian is trying to drive out the English and get swarajyam and restore sanathana dharma. Our Raman, Sivaji, Krishnan, Guru Govindan, Arjuna ruled our land protecting all dharmas, but in this land, they are making arrangements to crown George V, a mlecha, and one who eats the flesh of cows.
  • Three thousand Madrasees have taken a vow to kill George V as soon as he lands in our country. In order to make others know our intention, I who am the least in the company, have done this deed this day. This is what everyone in Hindustan should consider it as his duty.
  • I will kill Ashe, whose arrival here is to celebrate the crowning of cow-eater King George V in this glorious land which was once ruled by great samrats. This I do to make them understand the fate of those who cherish the thought of enslaving this sacred land.
  • I, as the least of them, wish to warn George by killing Ashe.
