Remembering Shivaram Hari Rajguru

On his birth anniversary - 24 August 2024

Facts about Shaheed Shivaram Rajguru

1. Shivaram Rajguru was an Indian revolutionist from Pune, Maharashtra. He was born at Khed near Pune on 24 August, 1908 to Parvati Devi and Harinarain Rajguru. The birthplace Khed near Pune has been renamed as Rajgurunagar in his honour.

2. At Hisar Haryana, there is a shopping complex known as Rajguru Market. In 1953, this complex was named in his honour.

3. He was good at studies. His father died when he was only six years old. His brother took care of him and a widowed mother. His family had some dreams for Shivaram Rajguru but destiny was different. He was inspired by the Lokmanya Tilak's revolutionary ideas.

4. At the age of about 15, he went to Varanasi and took admission to a school for Sanskrit where he found his fellow revolutionaries. It is said that to reach Varanasi, he walked six days.

5. He joined the Hindustan Socialist Republican Army. The main aim was to overthrow the British colonisers. He wanted to gain Indian freedom from British rule by any means required.

6. He became a colleague of Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev and took part in the assassination of a British Police officer J.P Saunders at Lahore in 1928.

7. Their actions of killing the British officer were to avenge the death of Lala Lajpat Rai who had died in a protest against the Simon Commission in October 1928. Due to the Lathi charge by the British police in the protest, Lala Lajpat Rai injured very badly and died.

8. After the assassination, Rajguru then went into hiding in Nagpur. He took shelter in the house of an RSS worker and also met Dr. K. B. Hedgewar. But on his travel to Pune, he however was finally arrested.

9. The three brave revolutionaries Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were hanged on 23 March, 1931. Their bodies were cremated on the banks of the River Sutlej.

10. Shivaram Rajguru was only 23 years old when he became a martyr. He was known to have a fearless spirit and unconquerable courage. And also regarded as the gunman of Bhagat Singh's party.

He joined the revolutionaries at a young age due to the brutal atrocities that the Imperial British Raj inflicted on India. However, in the pages of Indian history, Shivaram Rajguru will always be remembered for his valour and dedication of his life towards India’s independence.

"Bomb Blast @30 Minutes" Message In Plane Toilet, Fliers Exit Using Slide

A hoax bomb blast message forced authorities to evacuate and conduct thorough searches of the Varanasi-bound IndiGo flight at the Delhi airport on Tuesday, officials said.

The flight, 6E2211, with 176 passengers onboard, was scheduled to take off from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport around 5 am but was stopped on the runway minutes before departure after the pilot found a tissue paper with the message "bomb blast @30 minutes" written on it in the aircraft's washroom.

"At 05:40 am, a phone call was received from the IGI airport regarding a bomb threat. A message 'BOMB BLAST @30 MINUTES' was written on a piece of paper inside the lavatory of the flight and was found by the pilot," a Delhi Fire Services official said.

The aircraft was immediately taken to the isolation bay for further necessary action, the official said, adding that a quick response team was deployed, which found no suspicious items.

All passengers were deboarded through the emergency door and are safe, the official said.

The IndiGo also released an official statement and said that the aircraft was taken to a remote bay as per guidelines by airport security agencies.

"The flight is currently undergoing inspection. Post completion of all security checks, the aircraft will be positioned back in the terminal area," the airline said.

Earlier this month, a tissue paper with the word 'bomb' written on it was found on an Air India flight lavatory at Delhi airport, but it had turned out to be a hoax.

Police had said that they received information regarding a tissue paper found in the lavatory of an Air India flight scheduled to depart for Vadodara on May 15, with the word 'bomb' written on it.

"Following standard security protocols, a thorough inspection was conducted, and no suspicious items were found," an official had said.

Several hospitals and schools in Delhi have recently been targeted with bomb threat emails, that claimed the presence of explosives on their premises. However, investigators found the threats to be false alarms.

Zero Tolerance Policy, UP: Safety First

One of the most populous states in India, Uttar Pradesh, has long struggled with crime and disorder. However, the state's strategy for combating criminal activity has undergone a paradigm shift in recent years. An important step toward maintaining law and order and the protection of its citizens is the adoption of a zero-tolerance policy against crime and offenders.    

The government has taken several steps to operate law enforcement in UP, action has been taken against 63,055 criminals under the Gangster Act and 836 criminals under the National Security Act (NSA).

Confiscation of movable and immovable properties worth Rs. 90,22,33,000 under the Gangster Act has been done. 

The Origin Of The Policy 

Zero-tolerance policy, UP was implemented in response to the growing crime rates that were harming the social and economic fabric of the state. Criminal activity was abundant, from small-time stealing to more serious crimes like assault and organized crime, which required the state government to take strong action. And in that aspect, UP government did the 

registration of 180 cases, arrest of 90 accused, action under the Gangster Act against 165 accused, action under the Arms License against 35 accused, and action under the NSA against 8 accused out of a total of 340 against mafia and their gang members/accomplices, promoting crime prevention.

Policy Implementation

The policy implementation saw a multi-faceted approach:

Increasing the Effectiveness of Law Enforcement 

The Uttar Pradesh Police now have access to more resources and up-to-date gear. To accommodate the increased workload, the recruitment process was shortened to hire more staff. Recruitment of police personnel on more than 1,64,000 posts was done. Along with this approval 114 new police stations, 163 new outposts, 6 new women police stations, 4 new economic crime-related police stations, 16 new cyber crime stations, 10 new branches of Vigilance Establishment, and 90 new fire stations were given. 

That is not it, integration of Women Power Line 1090, GRP Fire Service, and Women Helpline 181 services was done with the appointment of 15130 women police personnel in 1518 police stations, and the allocation of 10378 women for duty.

Strict and Quick Legal Action

To guarantee prompt justice, the criminal court system was streamlined. Fast-track hearings and special courts were crucial in this regard. Such as penalties imposed on 7276 criminals under the POCSO Act and crimes against women. First place in e-prosecution in the entire country for crimes under the POCSO Act and crimes related to women.

Use of Technology

To monitor and deter criminal activity, advanced surveillance technologies, such as CCTV cameras and digital databases, were widely deployed. Including the establishment of a Digital Forensic Lab in Lucknow and Cyber Forensic Labs at every district level.

Impact On Crime Rates

The crime rates in Uttar Pradesh have significantly decreased due to the zero-tolerance policy, UP. There has been a decrease in several crime categories, including theft and violent crimes, according to reports. This decline can be attributed to law enforcement agencies' swift action and the policy's deterrent effect. 

Some of them include: 

Seizure of illegally acquired assets worth more than Rs. 2819 crore by mafia and criminals.

487 accused women were sentenced to life imprisonment, 1016 accused were sentenced to 10 years, more than 10 years, and 3076 accused were sentenced to less than 10 years for crimes against women.

175 notorious criminals were killed and 4808 injured in encounters. 15885 rewarded criminals imprisoned.

Warnings were issued to 88,25,966 people and action was taken against 25,127 through the Anti-Romeo Squad.

Removal of 86,785 loudspeakers from religious places. Sound reduced in more than 68,676 places.

The commissioner system of police was established in Lucknow, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Kanpur Nagar, Varanasi, Agra, Ghaziabad, and Prayagraj.

Establishment of 1-1 Cyber Crime Station at 16 zonal headquarters besides Lucknow and Gautam Buddha Nagar.

Formation of 03 Women PAC Battalions (Lucknow, Gorakhpur, and Badaun).

Conversion of 40 Anti-Human Trafficking Units into police stations.

Establishment of 11 Electricity Theft Control Police Stations in all districts to prevent electricity theft.

Establishment of 79 Women Police Chowki Advisory Centers and upgrading of police stations to the level of chowki in 74 districts.

Construction of police lines in Hapur, Chandauli, Auraiya, Sambhal, Shamli, Amroha, Amethi, and Kasganj.

Formation of Uttar Pradesh Special Security Force for the security of important institutions.

Formation of STF unit in Ayodhya.

New Field Units of ATS in many districts including Deoband, Bahraich, Aligarh, and Kanpur.

Conclusion

To restore law and order to the state, a zero-tolerance policy, UP against crime is a brave and essential step. Although the strategy has reduced crime rates, it is important to ensure that it is applied in a balanced manner to ensure public safety. Sustaining the efficacy of the policy and effectively tackling its obstacles will need ongoing assessment and modification.

In Modi’s constituency Varanasi, India’s next temple-mosque spat explodes

Varanasi/Bengaluru, India – A festive atmosphere engulfed Varanasi, one of Hinduism’s holiest cities situated on the banks of the river Ganga.

It was the week Prime Minister Narendra Modi had inaugurated the new temple to the Hindu deity Ram where the 16th century Babri Masjid once stood in the city of Ayodhya, 200km (124 miles) to the north.

In Varanasi, the streets and boats on the river were decked up with saffron flags bearing illustrations of Ram. Outside Varanasi’s famous and historic Kashi Vishwanath temple, the smell of burning camphor and the sound of Indian classical music drifted through the air as pilgrims flocked in large numbers to the temple to offer their prayers.

But next door, towards the west of the temple, the carnival-like spirit was replaced with a strict and sombre atmosphere, with barricades and police officers greeting crowds.

The officers were guarding the Gyanvapi Mosque – which is widely believed to have been built on the ruins of a 16th-century Kashi Vishwanath temple demolished by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1669.

While the partially ruined Kashi temple has been reconstructed and stands adjacent to the Gyanvapi Mosque, Hindu supremacist groups have been trying to reclaim the mosque for decades.

In May 2022, some Hindu patrons went to the Varanasi local court asking for permission to worship within the mosque’s complex after a court-ordered video survey found that a ‘Shivling’ – a symbol of the Hindu deity Shiva – was found near the wuzukhana, a well used by Muslim devotees at the mosque.

This case gained momentum in January this year when a survey from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), among other things, stated that a large Hindu temple existed on the site before the mosque and that sculptures of Hindu deities were also present in the cellars of the mosque.

Within a few days, on January 31, Judge Ajaya Krishna Vishvesha from Varanasi’s local court passed an order ruling that Hindus would be allowed to pray in the mosque’s basement – a section which had been sealed due to security concerns.

“District court Varanasi has created history today,” Vishnu Jain, a Supreme Court lawyer representing the Hindu side said in a post on X.

A day later, videos and images began appearing on social media of a priest offering prayers to the Hindu deities inside the mosque cellar.

  The Anjuman Intezamia Masajid, the committee managing the Gyanvapi Mosque, rejected the local court’s order and is scheduled to challenge the case at the Allahabad High Court in the city of Prayagraj, formerly known as Allahabad, on February 6.

“It seems like the judicial system is against Muslims,” Rais Ahmad Ansari, an advocate in Varanasi representing the Muslim side, told Al Jazeera.

Even amid a heightened momentum among India’s Hindu supremacist movement to target mosques, often facilitated by government authorities – a centuries-old mosque was razed in New Delhi last week – the case involving the Gyanyavi structure holds deep political significance. Varanasi is the electoral constituency of Modi, who leads the Hindu majoritarian Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that rules the country, yet has built strong relations with the presidents and ministers of Western liberal democracies.

India will vote in general elections expected to be held between March and May.

While the court order hasn’t stirred any violence or communal riots, a sense of anxiety is prevalent in the Muslim neighbourhoods of the city, according to advocate Ansari.

“Muslim-owned shops closed after the [January 31] hearing fearing a dispute. Friday’s namaz [prayers] was also greeted with tight security presence as hundreds gathered outside the Gynavapi Mosque to offer prayers. There is a sense of anxiety in every Muslim’s mind,” he said.

“It is still peaceful in Varanasi. But this peace feels uneasy,” he added.

Meanwhile, some news channels in the country hailed the local court order and the onset of prayers in the mosque as “a big win for Hindus” – a sentiment shared by several Hindus in Varanasi.

“We plan to go visit the site and see the priest performing rituals at the mosque as soon as our exams end,” Ayush Akash and Harshit Sharma, two 21-year-old political science students at the Banaras Hindu University (BHU), told Al Jazeera.

Nita*, a Hindu devotee at the Kashi Vishwanath temple, was also keen to pray at the temple.

“We feel great about it [court ruling]. If we are let to visit and pray, we will go. When Hindus pray in Varanasi, they have their own places of worship. My brother is a priest and can only worship in his temple. But if the priest allows us into Gyanvapi, we will surely go,” she told Al Jazeera.

“People here have been going crazy since the inauguration of the Ayodhya temple,” Nita said.

“You can feel a Hindu vibe all around you on the streets. It was never like this before, but everybody is happy about things that are happening and that the Gyanvapi is a Hindu temple,” she added.

BHU��s Akash pointed out that people from all religions in Varanasi have coexisted peacefully for years and are mature enough not to riot over the temple-mosque dispute.

“It might look like Hindus are in power, and yes, some Muslim people might be unhappy about the local court’s decision on the Gyanvapi Mosque. But in this city, while ideologies do differ, it doesn’t stop Hindu-Muslim friendship. That’s how the real Varanasi is,” he said.

Since Modi came to power in 2014, critics and rights groups have accused his government of encouraging or facilitating a rise in Hindu supremacy, while instances of discrimination and violence against Muslims – who represent the largest religious minority in the country – have grown.

Hindu nationalist groups have also increasingly launched or intensified legal campaigns against several centuries-old mosques, claiming they are built on the remains of Hindu shrines.

“There is a slogan which Hindu nationalists have been using which says ‘Ayodhya Jhaki hain, Kashi-Mathura Baki Hain,'” said BHU’s Akash. Translated, the slogan says ‘Ayodhya is just a preview, Kashi [Varanasi] and Mathura are left’. It’s a reference to how the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992 in Ayodhya has been used by Hindu majoritarian groups to seek similar actions with the Mughal-era mosques in Varanasi and Mathura.

“But right now, in Varanasi, the Gyanvapi case is all about politics. It seems like the local court gave its ruling in time for the upcoming general elections. I feel the ruling is to unite Hindus before the elections,” he said.

Syed Ali Nadeem Rezavi, secretary of the Indian History Congress and professor of medieval history at the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) shared a similar view but highlighted that this case is not like Ayodhya.

“Nobody has ever said that where the Gyanvapi Mosque stands today, there had been no temple. It is clear there was a temple and it was demolished. One can even see that with the naked eye,” Rezawi said.

“The reason behind why the temple was broken is where the contention arises since the manner in which the history of temple demolitions is currently being presented is a false narrative.”

Rezawi highlighted how the book, Temple Desecration and Muslim States in Medieval India, written by American scholar Richard Eaton, explains that in pre-colonial India, every dynasty had a deity they prayed to. If the ruler of the dynasty was defeated and the kingdom was taken over, then the deity and everything devoted to the deity – including the temple – was destroyed by the triumphant ruler.

“This was an accepted practice among kings and is exactly what [the emperor] Aurangzeb did. But the reason behind why he demolished the Vishwanath temple and built the mosque has many theories with some historians saying it was due to religious reasons and others claiming it was Aurangzeb’s way of punishing the Hindu family who managed the mosque since they had helped the Hindu king Shivaji escape,” he added.

“What Aurangzeb did should be condemned. But he lived during an era when there was no constitution. We have an Indian constitution which guarantees certain rights to people. So I don’t understand why the courts and prime minister are ignoring this and committing a crime more heinous than Aurangzeb,” Rezwai said.

Constitutionally, India is a secular state. The country also passed a law in 1991 called the Places of Worship Act, which prohibits the conversion of places of worship and stresses that their religious nature should be maintained.

But the final say about the future of the mosque lies with the country’s courts.

Abhishek Sharma, a Kashi temple devotee and coordinator at the Swagatam Kashi Foundation, told Al Jazeera that “people in Varanasi believe in ‘Ganga-Jamuna tehzeeb’,” a metaphor for social harmony that references the mingling of the waters of the Ganga and Yamuna rivers.

“We have always believed in living together in sanctity.  We pray that this peace is not be disturbed in any way,” he said.
