157th Anniversary of 1857, First War of Independence : A Grand Finale of General Elections in World's Largest Democracy
Varanasi, May 10. Election campaign for Lok Sabha elections came to an end on the very day when soldiers, hundreds miles away from Varanasi, in Meerut in 1857, fired shots to announce that First War of Indian Independence begins.
On 157th anniversary of 1857, Varanasi was the main battleground where political parties fought their last war to win over heart and minds of voters. It has to be Varanasi.
Varanasi is birthplace of Veerangana Lakshmibai. At a short distance from The Pappu Tea Shop is located the birthplace of Rani of Jhansi.
I am not sure whether political leaders today recalled the Fist War of Independence in their election speeches, nevertheless, the day is very significant. 157 years after the 1857, the nation is at the cross road. Countrymen are aspiring and hoping for change. And the political characters who are at the centre of peoples imagination, Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal are all in Varanasi.
Modi is addressing his last election rally in Ballia, the maternal home of legendary hero of 1857, Veer Kunwar Singh. Baghi Ballia has always been an inspiration for a struggle against exploitation and subjugation. In 1942 m Ballia was liberated by people.
Let the spirit of Varanasi and Ballia inspire the whole nation.
