द्वितीयं नञ्जराजवञ्चनं हैदरेण #२६१

Event occured on 1761-07-03 (gregorian).

On 3rd july 1761, Haidar formally occupied the Fort at Srirangapatna and declared himself as “Sarvadhikari and Regent” to the King. Former dalavAi Karachuri Nanjarajaiah, who wanted to re-establish himself at Srirangapatna and had provided crucial assistance to Haidar upon being emotionally swayed, was deceived for the second time by Haidar.

Context

  • Khande Rao came in contact with Haidar Ali in August 1756 when the king entrusted him with 50k gold pieces to be given to Sahbas Sahib (brother of Haidar) and Haidar to enable them to raise an army to defeat the Dalawai brothers who had virtually imprisoned him (the king) in his own palace.
  • Haidar rose to power under Khande Rao with the countenence of Karachuri Nanjarajaiah. In 1758, Khande Rao was made “Dewan” on the recommendation of Haidar and the Dalawais (including Karachuri Nanjarajaiah) were side-lined.
  • By 1759, it was clear that Haidar was getting more and more revenue districts assigned to himself and Khande Rao had seen through Haidar’s intention to fleece the king.
  • The Wodeyar King sought the assistance of the Mahratta army and Khande Rao wrote several letters to George Pigout, Governor General at Madras for help.
  • On 26th August 1760, Khande Rao attacked Haidar at Srirangapatna but let Haidar flee out of sentiment, with the promise that he would retire away from maisUru. Haidar did not keep his promise - he tried regrouping and attacking.
  • Sadly, shortly thereafter marATha forces were recalled after the defeat at pANIpat.
  • Haidar rushed to the feet of the dalvai Karachuri Nanjarajaiah - the latter was swayed and basically let Haidar act on his behalf - sowing utter confusion in the maisUru king’s troops.
  • On 20th June 1761, the royalist divAn Khande Rao was surrendered to the new userper Haidar by a cornered Krishnaraja Wodeyar II.

मनोज-पाण्डेय-वीरगतिः #२३

Event occured on 1999-07-03 (gregorian).

Lieutenant Manoj Kumar Pandey, a young officer of the 1/11 Gorkha Rifles, died conquering Jubar Top from pAkistAni jihAdists on this day.

On the night of 2/3 July 1999, ‘B’ Company of 1/11 Gorkha Rifles approached Jubar top along a narrow ridge. He surged ahead of his troops and charged at the enemy with a full-throated battle cry (जय महाकाली! आयो गारखाली!) through a hail of bullets. Fearlessly assaulting the first enemy position, he killed two enemy personnel and destroyed the second position by killing two more. Although wounded in the shoulder and leg, he pressed on his solitary charge with grim determination, until he closed in on the first bunker. He continued to lead the assault on the fourth position urging his men and destroyed the same with a grenade, even as he got a fatal Medium Machine Gun burst on his forehead.

Entries in Pandey’s personal diary:

  • ‘If death strikes before I prove my blood, I promise (swear), I will kill death!’
  • ‘Some goals are so worthy, it’s glorious even to fail!’

व्याघ्रपर्वताक्रमणारम्भः #२३

Event occured on 1999-07-03 (gregorian).

The final assault on Tiger Hill began on 3 July at 17:15 during Kargil war/ operation vijay.

After artillery pounding for 13 hours, 2 Naga advanced on the right and 8 Sikh advanced on the left. They used unexpected, and therefore difficult, avenues of approach. ghAtak commandoes of 18 Grenadiers advanced up the rear. Just as they reached the top, they were spotted and fired upon. In the early morning hours of 4th July, Yogendra yAdav despite being hit by multiple bullets, climbed up, crawled to the first bunker, downed 4 pAki solidiers with a grenade, charged a second bunker with two others. Hit by 21 bullets, he was to receive PVC later. Maj. Ravinder Singh of 8 Sikh with 200 soldiers launched a daring attack to relieve them.

Aftermath- Most of the Sikh soldiers attacked without cold weather gear, and many of the wounded died from exposure. 18 Grenadiers seized the 16,700-foot (5,062 m) Tiger Hill Top on the morning of 8 July.
