"Sringeri desecration, a chapter in over a century-long Maratha Empire genocide of Kannadiga Hindus
India is a nation of many histories. Heroes of one state are many a time villain in the neighbouring state or even some parts of the same state. One such controversial entity is the erstwhile Maratha Empire. The origins of Maratha Empire can be traced to Shivaji, a master guerilla fighter who troubled his contemporary Alamgir Aurangzeb, the Mughal Emperor. Just like Shivaji, the later Maratha soldiers raided non-Maratha territories across India. From present day Bangladesh and West Bengal in east to present day Punjabs of India and Pakistan in east. And, from present day Haryana in north to Tamil Nadu in south, the Maratha raids resulted in largescale deaths of civilians and non-combatants and destruction of towns, agriculture, and places of worship, often belonging to Hindus. In Karnataka, Sringeri was not the first temple town to be destroyed by the Peshwa Maratha soldiers, nor the last. Hindu temples at Melukote town were burnt in 1772 by Peshwa Madhava Rao’s men led by Triumbak Mama. The Hindu temple town of Devarayandurga was looted and burnt just a month or two after the Sringeri attack, so was Kudli Mutt a few months later. To understand Sringeri attack, one needs to go through similar Maratha Empire invasions of Karnataka in 17th and 18th centuries and see the larger context of the brutal attacks by this entity on non-Maratha Hindus across India.



The word genocide is said to have been coined in 1944 by Raphäel Lemkin, a Polish lawyer. United Nations defines it as ‘any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group‘ (14). The destructive acts of Maratha Empire against Kannadigas would fit within this definition. Maratha Empire was a self-centered, and a self-serving entity. The concept of a unified Hindu nation, where all Hindus would be equal, was alien to it. Its genocide of Kannadigas, a predominantly Hindu linguistic group, in 17th and 18th centuries CE, of which Sringeri pillage was a part, is one glaring proof of it "

Yeah your ignorance is shown quite clearly

Marathas got f*cked by Durrani but be happy you got revenge on Rohillas

Peshawar lene gye they Panipat tak marwate wapis aye...

Aur hindu ko bharat me majority bana diya,
And ghazwa e hind to the drains, where it rightly belonged.

Our media is degraded to its lowest I agree with you over here

I saw some Indian media networks and I could see some anchors were literally "barking" distorted facts without understanding the contents or looking into specifics of the event as if they had an injection up their arse. I had to make some of my YouTube videos on those topics.

Handpicked? The pindari did this without instruction or involvement of Hindu masters?

1) Pindaris, as the English soldiers eye-witnessed at many places during this war, operated upon the orders of Maratha chieftains. They would be let loose on those towns whose residents refused to pay them ransom.

2) The Maratha cavalry was under the command of various chieftains. While most took direct orders from Bhau, some chieftains bypassed him and acted upon the war plans of the Peshwa council that accompanied Bhau.

Either way, the Pindaris or the cavalry could not have acted without knowledge or participation of their hindu masters.

"Summarized below is a sequence of events that lists, in chronological order, twenty-six such places affected by Maratha soldiers’ brutalities, as witnessed by contemporary sources.


1790

Aug. 6: Maratha General Parshuram Bhau approaches Gokak to invade Karnataka (present day Mysore Kingdom) with a detachment of East India Company’s Bombay Army commanded by Captain Little. Marathas have upward of 10,000 fighting men including 5,000 Pindaris marauders.

Sep.10: Betgeri villagers, north of Dharwar town, beats back Bhau’s Pindari marauders. Bhau sends his Rohilla Gardee troops who plunder the village without mercy and capture many villagers.

Sep. 14: Bhau’s army swells to a cavalry of 15,000 and an infantry of 3,000. Armies camps at Narendra village a few km north of Dharwar. English soldier David Price witnesses burning of a village by Maratha soldiers at night.

Sep. 15: Hubbali Town surrenders to Bhau after paying him protection money. Town and its inhabitants not harmed. Maratha and English armies start their attacks on Dharwar.

Dec. 13: Bhau’s eldest son Appa Saheb enters Dharwar town, as its defenses crumble. His troops start setting afire to the town at various places.

Dec. 18: Bhau’s men get complete control of the Dharwar town and plundered it ‘so completely that not a piece of wood was left standing‘.

1791

Apr. 04: Badruzzaman Khan, Qilledar of Dharwar, surrenders the fort after a siege of six months. Several small towns and villages in vicinity razed to the ground by the Maratha soldiers.

Between Apr. 04 to Jul. 06: Maratha cavalry led by Raghunath Rao, brother of Parshuram Bhau pillage Sringeri.
May 20: Captain Little’s detachment joins the route taken by Bhau’s army to Srirangapatna, near the town of Harihar. English soldier Moor wrote ‘The route of the army is marked by rain and devastation; every village and town being burned and razed with the ground…In the distance of ten miles, perhaps, as many villages destroyed will be seen, without an inhabitant to tell their names: such is the havoc this destructive army has caused in this fair country.’

May 27: Chikkanayakanahalli (present day Tumakuru District). Maratha soldiers always pick up fights with village heads and inhabitants. They take away things from the Kannadiga villagers without paying.

May 29: Maratha soldiers sell grains and commodities looted from Kannadiga villagers during their march from Dharwar to Srirangapatna, at exorbitant prices to desperate soldiers of Cornwallis’s army.

Attacks on towns, villages, and agricultural lands, mostly dominated by Hindus, after the pillage of Sringeri

Jul. 8: After marching up from Melukote near Srirangapatna, Bhau and Captain Little march north-west from Bangalore intending to take Sira.

Jul. 13: Hindu holy town of Devarayanadurga, in present day Tumakuru District, is taken by assault. Looted and burnt by Maratha soldiers.

Jul. mid: Sira fort is the base of Parshuram Bhau’s solders. They raid nearby villages. Buchanan, who visited the place about a decade later, found all the villages around the town plundered. Bhau’s soldiers attack Mooka Nayakanahalli Kote (MN Kote) village (in today’s Tumakuru District). On failing to capture and loot the town, they abduct young Kannadiga girls (11).

Jul. mid: Bhau marches to the hill fort of Ratnagiri situated today along the Karnataka – Andhra Pradesh interstate border. Buchanan travelled along the same path a decade later and witnessed a scene of devastation due to Bhau’s soldiers from which it had yet to recover. Buchanan also wrote about similar scenes of destruction at the neighbouring Badavanahally village in Madhugiri Taluk of Tumakuru District.

Jul. end: Maratha and British soldiers approach the prosperous town of Hiriyur. The people of town pay a considerable sum of money to Bhau, who promised it protection from his Pindaris. Yet, the town is looted by marauders of one of the Maratha chiefs.

Aug.: Bhau camps in the vicinity of Chitradurga through much of August while his cavalry goes around for forage and his marauders plunder Kannadiga villages. Around the same time, Captain Little’s detachment leaves for the British hospital set up at Harihar town. A detachment of Maratha troops under Raghunath Rao and Bala Saheb rides north-west and captures Rayadurgam. Rao ensures his troops do not loot towns and villages, unlike Sringeri. Both stay back to capture Molakalmuru the month after.

Aug. 12: Bhau’s soldiers take the village of Talaku, Chitradurga District by assault. Loot and burn it."

That's a lot of looting by pindaris without any knowledge of Hindu masters. Gosh. Makes one wonder what the hindu masters were doing if their pindari detachment alone did all that.

That list is incomplete btw. It gets boring and repetitive reading about Hindu-Hindu violence.

You can stop being a tool now.

Only 10 pindaries attempted to loot the Sringeri temple, each and every one of them were punished and looted items were recovered and subsequently returned.
loot starved pindaris were sometimes out of control of their armies,

I saw some Indian media networks and I could see some anchors were literally "barking" distorted facts without understanding the contents or looking into specifics of the event as if they had an injection up their arse. I had to make some of my YouTube videos on those topics.

I think the conclusion one can draw here is that the marathas didn't actually discriminate on the basis of religion. They massacred Hindus as much as non-Hindus. They were a wonderful precursor for the true secular republic that Nehru always wanted. Great to see secular Hindustan at its best.

I feel modern India has lost its way from the idealistic equivalency meted out by the marathas though. Modern India is secular in name only. You should certainly read your history to understand the true meaning of the word and hopefully return to such idealistic roots.

Altogether now....Hooray for the marathas!

Here are some of the letters to verify maratha did not loot Temple of sringeri.

Letter from Neelkanth Appa (father of Raghunath rao Dada) to Balasaheb at Miraj

"lamaan and pindaris from Dadasaheb’s army went and looted lakhs worth from the Sringeri math, including an elephant. I have written to Dada to confiscate the goods’. This was followed by another letter in mid April; ‘the looters have been apprehended and a jambura and elephant belonging to the math taken over. The principal ten or twenty culprits were arrested. Just then Dadasaheb wrote that he will take action against them as they are his men. The men and the elephant were then sent to him’. On 14 May, Trimbak rao, Raghunath rao’s son, wrote to his uncle at Miraj, ‘Before the army crossed the river Tunga, lamaan and Pindaris had reached Shimogga. They went and looted the Swami’s math at Sringeri. The danda (staff) and kamandalu (vessel) of the swami was also taken. Nothing was left. Women were assaulted (and raped). Many women committed suicide. The Swami’s idol, linga etc was looted. The elephant stable was emptied and brought by the lamaanis. The Swami performed austerities and fasted for five days, giving up his life…
The last about the Swami giving up his life was not correct. The letter goes on to state, ‘When father learnt of this loot, he sent the cavalry to arrest the lamaan. The elephant was taken over. Remaining stolen items have not been found’."
A letter to Raghunath rao from his clerk

"…lamaans and looters looted the Sringeri math; this news reached the court. All details must be sought. You wrote ‘the looters came from all four directions. You have taken action and others must similarly act against the culprits’. Nana has sent this reply, ‘The Swami’s math was looted and the Swami is therefore fasting. This does not auger well for the kingdom; the Swami’s displeasure is not good….. Taking stern action the Swami must be compensated and his pleasure solicited…."
In a letter of 24 April 1792 written on behalf of Lord Cornwallis

"he paid no attention to from considerations of the irregular and depredatory system in which the Bayde Horse of Tippoo’s state and the pindary horse of the Mahratta armies were employed without any check or control, that from the nature of those horse the march of armies thro’ a country was always attended with circumstances of this description, that he was confident… that these matters will be considered as temporary inconveniences…."
After the demolition of Sringeri math the then Shankaracharya petitioned Tipu Sultan for help. A bunch of about 30 letters written in Kannada language, which were exchanged between Tipu and the Shankaracharya were discovered in 1916 by the Director of Archaeology in Mysore. Tipu Sultan expressed his indignation and grief at the news of the raid:

"People who have sinned against such a holy place are sure to suffer the consequences of their misdeeds at no distant date in this Kali age in accordance with the verse: "Hasadbhih kriyate karma rudadbhir-anubhuyate" (People do [evil] deeds smilingly but suffer the consequences crying)."
He immediately ordered the Asaf of Bednur to supply the Shankaracharya with 200 rahatis (fanams) in cash and other gifts and articles. Tipu Sultan's interest in the Sringeri temple continued for many years.

Although the regular troops did not attack the math, the pindari who did not act with ‘any check or control’ did. The Maratha polity was anguished over the act and efforts were on to compensate and appease the Swami for nearly a year after.

Conclusion : The Sringeri episode was neither a policy nor a battle plan for the Marathas. It was carried out by those predatory troops and pindaris who do not take part in an actual battle.

Swarajya mag responds to one out of fifty allegations. Typical really. Other British sources who actually were mercenaries with the mighty hindu armies corroborated the accounts of Hindu officers guiding the pillaging with on field testimony (see above). But that's ok, we know you only believe certain abrahamics and not others.

Plenty of sources exist, beyond the commie ones.


"smaller Maratha Army of Bhau Parshuram Patwardhan. Bhau and the detachment went from Srirangapatnam to Poona and Bombay . During this march through present-day Karnataka state, Bhau’s army displaced many local officials and disrupted normal life in efforts to secure the newly gained territories. Edward Moor, a member of Capt. Little’s detachment wrote a detailed eye-witness account of this journey.

In his account, Moor tells how the Marathas set ablaze the entire town of Santa Bednur (present-day Santhebennur, distt. Davanegere). In this instance, the Company soldiers had been travelling separately from the Marathas for more than a few days, and the Beydars (also termed Berad, Bedar, Beda and Ramoshi), military allies of Tipu Sultan, had been harassing the Marathas. The passage reads

The Marathas also ransacked the town of Erroor (present-day Hiriyur, near Chitradurga) after the town had paid ransom to the Marathas. The Bhau had promised protection to this town. The same fate befell Dooridoorg (the author could not identify this town) that was ‘plundered as usual by the Marathas’. [3] Previously, in 1791, the Marathas had desecrated the venerable Sringeri Mutt, one of the four seats of the Shankaracharya, which used to receive protection, patronage and grants from the government of Tipu Sultan. [4] Francis Buchanan-Hamilton, appointed Surveyor of Tipu’s provinces annexed by the Company in 1799, asked the amildar (local official) of Sagar, near Shimoga, to compare Tipu and the Marathas. The amildar said and the Surveyor reported thus

II

From Moor’s account, it would seem that the Marathas were either unaware or oblivious to cow-killing by the Englishmen in their party. Moor happily talks about not just eating, but slaughtering an ox and making smoked sirloin in the Maratha camp on Christmas 1791. He writes

Finally, Bhau, the Maratha general was forced to change his marching plans because one of his accompanying Brahmins had intercourse with a beautiful, but married, Dalit woman leading to an epidemic of ritual impurity in the Maratha army. Moor wrote

III

In order to portray Tipu Sultan as a ‘tyrant’, Francois Gautier relied on the account of Ripaud, a Frenchman who went to India from Mauritius in 1797 and 1799. In 1799, Ripaud wrote a diary entry complaining about the Malabar campaign of Tipu Sultan (1783). The above reading of two original sources pertaining to Maratha engagement in the Deccan during the 1790s, has revealed the Marathas to be ‘tyrants’ of no lesser magnitude! In conclusion, it may be said that there is no dearth of evidence successfully implicating various kinds of people in acts of political violence."

More commie and Muslim sources, this time British colonialist citizen Francis Buchanan. He must be sympathetic towards "commies" or "Muslims" or perhaps "commieslims". That Queen Victoria and her Russian connections eh.

"Destruction by Peshwa Madhava Rao's men in 1770s:
Here is a list based on Buchanan's book:

Tumakuru District:
1) Madhugiri town: It was apparently prosperous under Haidar Ali but suffered under Maratha rule.

Mandya District:
2) Chinya village (Anglicized: Chinna), Nagamangala Taluk: The village was desolate when Buchanan visited it on 28 August 1800. He writes this 'Chinna is a poor ruinous place. It was formerly of some note; but about 30 years ago it was destroyed by the Marattah army, then attacking Hyder, and it has never since recovered.'
3) Melukote (Anglicized: Mail-cotay), Mandya District: This is a popular Hindu pilgrimage centre having numerous Hindu temples. It was often the scene of Mysore-Maratha battles. During their invasion in 1771, the terror of Maratha soldiers was so great that Brahmins deserted the place in fear. But the Maratha soldiers set afire to the temple chariots (rathas or raths) to lay their hands on the iron in them burning down many temples in the process. Writing on 29 August 1800, Buchanan claimed that Melukote had not yet recovered from its destruction by the Marathas.

Mysore District:
4) Katte Malalawadi (Anglicized: Cuttay Malalawadi): Here's what Buchanan writes about its destruction by Baji Rao. "About midway is Cuttay Malalawadi, a large mud fort, and the chief town (Kusba) of a district (Taluc). About thirty years ago it was fully inhabited and had a large suburb (Petta); while the cultivation all around was complete. At that period, a Marattha army, commanded by Badji Rao, laid waste to everything, and most of the inhabitants perished of hunger. So complete was the destruction, that even the excellent government of Hyder did not restore to the district more than one half of its former cultivation. The town never regained its inhabitants and was occupied by forty or fifty houses of Brahmans, who lived scattered amid the ruins."

Chamarajanagara District:
5) Sathyagala: Apparently, this village had about a thousand houses. According to Buchanan, 'a party of Marattah plunderers ravaged all this neighbourhood; and they were followed by a dreadful famine, in which 400 of the families in Satteagala perished of hunger.' Even if each family had seven members (a married couple with two parents and three kids), the number of deaths would run to 28,000 humans!
6) Singanallur (Anglicized: Singanaluru): This hamlet in Kollegal Taluk, Chamrajanagar District, located between Kollegal and Hanur towns, was 'destroyed'.

Kodagu District:
7) Suntikoppa (Anglicized: Sunticopa), Madikeri Taluk, Kodagu (Anglicized: Coorg) District: According to Buchanan this place was 'devastated by Maratha Peshwa'.

Davanagere District:
8) Basavapatna (Anglicized: Baswa-pattana), Channagiri Taluk: Destroyed during the 1771-72 Maratha invasion it was apparently rebuilt by the British after the final Anglo-Mysore War in 1799.


Chikmagalur District:
9) Siddaramanahalli (Anglicized: Siddaramanahally), Kadur Taluk): Affected

Chitradurga District:
10) Hiriyur (Anglicized: Heriuru): Affected.
11) Chikkalaghatta (Anglicized- Aligutta): Land was barren due to Marhata invasions of 1771.

Hassan District:
12) Banavara (Anglicized: Banawara): Suffered.
13) Nagapuri, (Anglicized: Naga-puri): Haidar Ali built a fort amidst hills to protect people but still could not prevent the Marathas from plundering it in 1771-72.
14) Javagal village, also known as Javagallu (Anglicized: Jamagulla), Arasikere Taluk: A large place that never recovered from the Marhata invasion.
15) Shantigrama, also known as Grama, Hassan District: Suffered under Maratha invasion. "
Chamarajanagara District:
1) Sathyagala, Kollegal Taluk: All 1,000 houses were destroyed by Maratha army during Cornwallis' invasion.

Chitradurga District:
2) Kodaganur (Anglicized: Koduganar): Whole of Chitrakal (Chitradurga) province was 'reduced to a desert' by Bhau.
3) Chikkalaghatta (Anglicized- Aligutta): Land was barren due to Marhata invasions of 1771 and then again by Bhau in 1791.
4) Hiriyur town: Affected by Bhau's invasion and the subsequent famine that followed.
5) Belaguru (Anglicized- Belluguru), Hosadurga Taluk: Buchanan visited this on 8 May 1801 and found that the land was uncultivated due to Bhau's army passing by.

Davanagere District:
6) Malebennur town: Destroyed.
7) Harihar town: Bhau looted the people and many died of hunger.

Hassan District:
8) Garudanagiri village: Was found to be depopulated on 9th May 1801 due to Bhau.
9) Banavara: Suffered by invasions of Bhau.
10) Hassan town: Buchanan claims only one quarter of agriculture remained due to the Maratha invasion."

BUT of course, only the Muslim mercenaries did this, and without any knowledge of their Hindu paymasters.

You're a trip dude.

Maratha Hindus actually marched with British Christians and Muslim mercenaries to loot and pillage Hindu lands and temples. They were true secularists, who even did not spare Hindus from the flames of secularist conquest. A lesson for modern hindutvas. The most successful hindu empire slaughtered hindus and Muslims alike without any fuss. It's nothing personal against any religion. Just business yknow. Getting the "chautha" tax and all.

I'm actually curious if the BJP lot consider Bangladesh as part of Akhand Bharat or not? Has anyone of any consequence ever said anything to that effect?

@jamahir @SuvarnaTeja

Sanghis can have their wet dreams, We Bengalis don't want to have anything to do with any artificially constructed state, be it Akhand Bharat or India.



They're welcome to try and tame us but nothing short of a nuke will work.



Head bobbers should keep their ambitions in check, lest they lose the very head they like to Bob around.

joke of the debate,
let me send you more proof videos of their existence then,

Lolx disgrace is someone who says we took revenge from Rohillas when he was f*cked by Durranis

And again wheres Maratha empire ?

Aur hindu ko bharat me majority bana diya,
And ghazwa e hind to the drains, where it rightly belonged.

Lolx again hollow claims to feel happy
