Bathot - Bathot Became Centre of Revolution

Bathot Became Centre of Revolution

The atrocities of British company had enhanced and Bathot was sacked by them which led to rebellion by the people of Bathot. Dungar Singh and Jawahar Singh agreed to start a movement against the foreign rule. Both the sardars were aware of the influence and power of Lothoo. So they invited Lothoo in the Bathot fort and asked his cooperation in revolt against British Raj. Lothoo agreed upon the proposal and all decided to see the British out of India.

The small fortress of Bathot became the center of revolutionaries under the leadership of Lothoo Nitharwal. Bathot was always at target of British forces. Dungar Singh, Jawahar Singh, Karna Meena (Meenas) were other important freedom fighters with Lothoo Nitharwal.

There is a samadhi of freedom fighter - Lothoo Nitharwal at village Bathot. The people of Shekhawati region come here and worship him as a folk-deity. The samadhi of such a hero of freedom movement is uncared and badly damaged at present.

Famous quotes containing the words centre and/or revolution:

    Him, the vindictive rod of angry justice
    Sent, quick and howling, to the centre headlong;
    I, fed with judgements,in a fleshy tomb, am
    Buried above ground.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)

    The revolution must end and the republic must begin. In our constitution, right must take the place of duty, welfare that of virtue, and self-defense that of punishment. Everyone must be able to prevail and to live according to one’s own nature.
    Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
