When there are demonstrations against any dispute or law in the country, it is often seen that most of the protesters themselves do not know what issues they are opposing. Just being part of the crowd has become a trend like joining the demonstration. A similar case was recently seen at Ghaziabad railway station, where the extreme protest stainted the truth of history.
Aurangzeb understood the protesters in place of Bahadur Shah Zafar
Some people associated with the Hindu Raksha Dal arrived at Ghaziabad railway station and put a soot vessel on the painting of Bahadur Shah Zafar at the station. He claimed that he was a soot granddaughter on Aurangzeb’s portrait. But the reality is that the picture was of Bahadur Shah Zafar, who was the last Mughal ruler of India and his name was prominently linked to the first battle of 1857.
Just try to get into the discussion
The sole purpose of this act was to make videos on social media. But this mistake made him under the scanner. The opposition reacted sharply to the issue. Congress spokesperson Supriya Srinet wrote on X, “The soot went to Aurangzeb, the vessel came to the Bahadur Shah Zafar. He does not even know that Bahadur Shah Zafar fought for 1857 independence.”
It is important to know history, it is important to understand before opposition
When the Zee News team questioned the people associated with the organization that when the protest is of Aurangzeb, why the granddaughter of Bahadur Shah Zafar got a granddaughter, the answer was – “If all the Mughals are there.” This mentality suggests that the protest has now become a more crowded mentality than ideology, in which the difference of correct and wrong is not felt nor the need for historical understanding is felt.
Debate on Bahadur Shah Zafar’s role begins again
After this incident, a debate on social media has once again sparked a debate on the role of Bahadur Shah Zafar. Some people question that if they fought for independence, then why did they take pension from the British? And when Tatya Tope got the death penalty, why was he only removed?
Historians’ opinion
Historians believe that Bahadur Shah Zafar was not in the lead role in the revolution of 1857, but his name was symbolically associated. He gave leadership to rebellion, but his aim was to save Delhi and his princely state, not the independence of all over India.
