Indiaís struggle for freedom is a long story. It actually begins from the very days of Plassey and Buxar. In fact, India had never meekly submitted to any foreign invasion as evident from the beginning of the times known to the recorded history. European companies also found stiff resistance from Indian rulers for over a century before the English expelled the French. From 1757 to 1857, the English also did not have a smooth sailing in India. Even after the close of military engagements with Indian princes, the English could not take the whole of India under its rule for various reasons. During these hundred years, we can see the efforts of Indian rulers to protect the freedom of our country from foreign yoke. The tribal communities also bravely tried to contain the expansion of the British authority over the forest and hilly regions. Their sacrifices cannot be ignored. At the very beginnings of the Companyís rule in the South, the tribal chiefs of the hilly regions of Coromandel coast put up heroic fight in the second half of 18th century against the advanced military power of the British. In a way, the 1857 Movement was also a considerable success politically because one-third of the then India was allowed by the English to continue under the native rule till as late as their withdrawal. In British India, the people chose many ways to express their resentment, though sporadically, but with alarming and increasing frequency over the years. Those who lost their wealth, power and life to defend freedom before 1857 and those who fought for freedom after 1857 till 1905 when the mainstream of Movement acquired national character, had gone unrecorded, unwept and unsung. We have been left with scant record about those who lost their lives for freedom in various types of protest against the British domination. Such protests were not clearly definable till 1905. The protests and movements from 1905 could be well defined as political, social and economical with nationalist undertones. Whatever were the visible reasons of the nation-wide protests by different sections of people, they were basically connected to the struggle for freedom. This project of preparing a dictionary of those who lost their lives in various protests and movements against the British rule, makes an attempt to record their individual contribution in brief to the overall movement for freedom, with due apologies to those who had gone unrecorded. Usually such mammoth projects cannot be completed according to the schedule because the scope of the project will be vi Dictionary of Martyrs: India’s Freedom Struggle (1857-1947) Vol. 3

expanding along with the progress of work, and because the quantum of work is inestimable at any stage of execution. However, the work done by the project team is quite appreciable. I consider this a pious duty to submit to our countrymen the Volume 3 of the Dictionary of Martyrs as the nationís homage to those who lost their lives for Indiaís freedom from foreign rule. This Project is executed by the ICHR and sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. Its scope, sources, methodology and format have already been outlined in the General Editorís Note to the Part I of the Volume 1. This Volume brings up the data available on the region now known as Maharashtra, Gujarat and Sind between 1857 and 1947. Our research team has collected data regarding those who sacrificed their lives while participating in such mobilisations, organisations and occurrences as the 1857 Movement, the tribal resistances, the Khilafat and Non-Cooperation movement, the Civil Disobedience movement and the movements of the revolutionaries, peasants and workers, Praja mandals (for responsible government), as well as the Individual Satyagraha, the ìQuit Indiaî outbreak and the stirrings over the Indian Independence League, the Indian National Army and the Royal Indian Navy. Incidents like the Jungle Satyagraha of Chirner village (against the ban on collecting firewoods by the British), Bhilsí struggle against begar (forced labour) in the Political Agency of Rewa Kantha (Gujarat), Kisansí agitations against the high rates of land taxes and socially exploitative forced labour and other cesses in these regions have also been taken care of. The entries include, wherever available, information regarding the date/year, place of birth and residence, occupation and the circumstances leading to the martyrdom. The Research Team has also undertaken field trips to the Maharashtra and Gujarat States. Our sincere thanks are due to the authorities and staff of the National Archives of India, New Delhi, as well as of the State archives and libraries for the cooperation extended to our Team of Researchers. I also wish to record my appreciation of the ICHR library staff and other staff for their constant support and cooperation to the researchers of this Project. While consulting the archival sources in Maharashtra State Archives, Mumbai, the Research Team has come across various Political and Judicial proceedings on the Uprising of 1857 and participants that have not hitherto been explored or consulted on such a large scale. Contemporary newspapers, such as The Times of India, The Bombay Chronicle and notably The Sind Observer have also been consulted. The papers of the knowledgeable individuals (such as of I. L. Yajnik), well-known institutions, (such as All India Congress Committee, All India Trade Union Congress and All India States Peopleís Conference) and similar other collections available in the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, New Delhi, were also consulted. Our Research Team has aspired to prepare the Dictionary as inclusive as possible and to cover telescopically the very widespread participation of almost all the segments of Indian society in the movement for independence. Of course, a work of this nature can never claim to be exhaustive. There cannot be any finality with regard to such works. If any omissions or commissions are reported by the readers, they From the General Editor vii will be taken care of while preparing the supplementary volume to be published towards the end of the Project. Professor Amit Kumar Gupta and his team of researchers ñ Dr. Rajesh Kumar, Mr. Ashfaque Ali, Dr. Md. Naushad Ali, Dr. Md. Shakeeb Athar and Muhammed Niyas.
