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:
“Here in the centre stands the glass. Light
Is the lion that comes down to drink. There
And in that state, the glass is a pool.
Ruddy are his eyes and ruddy are his claws
When light comes down to wet his frothy jaws”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“History in the making is a very uncertain thing. It might be better to wait till the South American republic has got through with its twenty-fifth revolution before reading much about it. When it is over, some one whose business it is, will be sure to give you in a digested form all that it concerns you to know, and save you trouble, confusion, and time. If you will follow this plan, you will be surprised to find how new and fresh your interest in what you read will become.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
