Important Center for the Revolt of 1857, BUT NOW FORGOTTEN

What an incongruity that the SPELLING of the beginning stage of Revolt of 1857 is as yet unaltered! ITAWA (the way it's spelled in HINDI) was wrongly spelt by the Brits as Etawah simply like their particular spellings of Munghyr (Munger in Bihar) and Cawnpore (the present Kanpur). Too bad, nobody administered to this residential area from where Sepoy Mutiny started and swelled into India's first war of freedom. To demonstrate my regard to the place and as an unassuming tribute to it, I'll spell it 'accurately' all through my article and compose ITAWA and not the senseless ETAWAH.

In this generally tested nation, one questions whether anybody has known about this fairly in reverse town in UP. Ask a metro-based adolescent or even his/her father/mother, anything about ITAWA and they'll give you a clear and empty look as though 'Ye aap kya poochh rahe hain'? (What the heck would you say you are inquiring?). Such is the numbness in light of the fact that the author of this piece as of late asked a 23-year-old young lady in Delhi whether she heard the name of Mangal Pandey (the principal legend of Revolt of 1857 who was hanged by the Brits on April 8, 1857)? Her apathetic answer shivered me: Mangal Panday, kaun? (Who was Mangal Pandey?)

ITAWA is in the region of Eta (again incorrectly spelled by the English as Etah). Estimated time of arrival (the correct spelling), Mainpuri and ITAWA are nearly group towns and the cutting edge India thinks about them as Dacoit-Belt! Again a deteriorated incongruity.

ITAWA's gatherer amid the Revolt of 1857 was An O Hume who later turned into the organizer and leader of the Congress in 1885. Hume cherished India and its kin. As a gatherer of ITAWA, Hume kept in touch with the East India Company's head Sir Christopher Collins in Calcutta (no 'Kolkata' for me; we can change the names of the huge urban communities in light of the fact that those names were given by the Brits, yet can't change the spelling and name of ETWAH to ITAWA) that the onerous administer of East India Company and due to its degenerate officers, a revolt by the Indians was on the blacksmith's iron. What's more, that happened. Hume was an others conscious British officer who related to the poor Indians and asked for that Mangal Pandey's life be saved. However, he was hanged (openly) to set an obstruction for different Indians.

ITAWA is renowned for its Lion Safari. It's home to Asiatic lions (initially from Gir, Gujarat). Lions move openly though the guests move in confined ways. National Chambal Sanctuary is additionally here. Agra-ITAWA cycle parkway (207 km long) is Asia's first cycle roadway. It's one-of-its kind undertaking.

ITAWA has modestly great schools and universities, however nothing exceptional. There're bad lodgings and eateries here. Be that as it may, there are sensibly great hotels in ITAWA and roadside restaurants give bearably great dinners. The town needs an enormous patch up to end up a city of eminence.

A long time back, Indian President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmad recommended that ITAWA should have a historical center devoted to Revolt of 1857. The leftovers of that essential occasion have not been safeguarded legitimately.

I've been to ITAWA ( Pin Code 206001 ) and felt nostalgic. By one means or another, I could identify with the place as I've generally been a sharp understudy of history, esp. present day Indian history starting from 1857 till date of cloudy legislative issues.

Visit this place and bear in mind to pay a tribute to those anonymous progressives who set out their lives for us:

When you go home

Let them know with distress

That we've given our today

For their tomorrow.

Keep in mind forget this if at any point you go to ITAWA.
