Victorious World Tricolor Cute
When India started burning in the fire of communal violence, in order to remind the Indians of their pride, in AD 1924, Shyamlal Councilor wrote a flag-song for the Congress, which became so famous that the Congress' morning on the melodious tunes of Harmonium and Dholak- Started singing in the pheris-
Victorious world tricolor dear, our flag stays high.
Always showering power, swirling love,
The destroyer of the heroes, the whole body and mind of the motherland. Flag….
In the fierce battle of freedom, writing grew with enthusiasm moment by moment,
Seeing the enemy trembles in the mind, all the fear and trouble may disappear. Flag….
Under this flag fearless, take Swaraj, this unshakeable determination,
Say Bharat Mata ki Jai, independence is our motto. Flag….
Come on! Come on, dear hero. Sacrifice on country-religion,
Sing all together, dear India, our country. Flag….
Don't let its glory be known, even if life is lost,
Victory to the world and show it, then we will be full of our vows. Flag….
Victorious world tricolor dear, our flag stays high.
Gandhiji's follower Jawaharlal Nehru saw elements of violence in this song. He strictly avoided the world-conquering word repeated over and over in this song. Nevertheless, this song remained the main attraction of Congress's Prabhat-Peris till India's independence.
Along with this, written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee- 'Vande Mataram' The song also made a splash across the country and became the first choice of the Congressmen to the far-right and the revolutionaries. More than the British, the Muslim League felt that these songs were written against them.
Flood of communal riots in Bengal
In Bengal the population of Hindus was declining rapidly and the Muslim population was increasing. Due to this, the streets, alleyways and other public places were flooded with mosques. Whenever the Hindu religious leaders came out in front of these mosques with gaiety for their religious processions, the Muslims used to attack these processions.
In the middle of 1926, there was a flood of communal riots in the country. First of all, terrible communal attacks started in Calcutta. For six weeks there were brutal murders on the streets of Calcutta. There was arson at 110 places, temples and mosques were attacked. According to a government statement, 44 people died and 584 were injured in the first encounter. In the second encounter, 66 people died and 391 were injured. These riots mainly took place in front of mosques, on the question of Hindu procession and musical instrument.
Hindus were more among those killed and injured. Lord Irwin was the Governor General of India at this time. The Hindu Mahasabha passed a resolution in Delhi on 22 May 1926 and demanded from the government that the Hindus of Calcutta should be protected.
When Dr. Shivram Munje and Pt. Madanmohan Malviya of Hindu Mahasabha went to Calcutta, Suhrawardy Government of Bengal issued summons against both of them.
In East Bengal, the situation was even worse. There the cases of kidnapping, rape, arson and murders of Hindu women and children started increasing day by day. The Muslims of North Bengal also did not lag behind.
attack on Ganpati festival
In Maharashtra too, they were attacked by Muslims for taking out processions in the Ganpati festival. The situation got so bad that Hindu Mahasabha appealed to the women of the country that every Hindu woman should keep arms with her to protect her honor.
Communal Violence in Kanpur
In 1931, there were communal riots in Kanpur in which a large number of Hindus were massacred and the British government could not do anything. During these riots, journalist Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi was murdered on 25 March 1931.
Furious-Hinduism wave in the country
Due to the communal riots taking place in different parts of the country including Malabar, Multan, Kanpur, Maharashtra, Bengal and Amritsar, the wave of radical Hindutva manifested in the country. In protest against the violent incidents against Hindus across the country, Hindu leaders 'Hindu-Ekta' gave the slogan. Branches of Hindu Mahasabha were established across the country.
All India Kshatriya Sabha was established. In AD 1923, Dr. Kitchlew started the Tanzeem and Tabligh movement in Amritsar. In AD 1925, on the day of Vijay Dashami, Dr. Hedgewar formed the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Dal whose purpose was to protect Hindu religion, caste and culture. Its branches were established all over India.
In AD 1928, an organization named Order of the Hindu Youth was established in Lahore. Swami Dayanand Saraswati, Swami Vivekananda and Maharishi Aurobindo Ghosh gave birth to Ugra-Hindutva to breathe new life of self-glory into the body of independent India. Lala Lajpat Rai, Bipin Chandra Pal and Bal Gangadhar Tilak were the flag bearers of Ugra-Hindutva in the Congress. We have discussed briefly about their contribution in the past.
Born in Maharashtra, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar carried the spirit of Hindu-nationalism ahead of the Tilak era. He stressed the need for political and social integration among the Hindus and called upon them to unite, emphasizing on the common interests of the Hindus. He was not a supporter of a policy to please Muslims.
Savarkar said that- 'If Indian Muslims do not want to cooperate in the attainment of Swaraj, then there is no need to plead with them because even without Muslims Hindus are capable of fighting for their freedom. .' The leaders doing communal politics for the Muslims, on the pretext of opposing Savarkar, got a good opportunity to shine their radical communal politics.
