They praised Queen Victoria who killed thousands of patriots!
While the whole nation was remembering Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on January 23, a Hindu Sena outfit held a commemoration programme to pay tribute to British Queen Victoria at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Many were plagued with the question as to how exactly was Queen Victoria worthy of a commemoration by Sangh Parivar when she was instrumental in wringing India dry of its resources through her regime that lasted for more than 300 years.
According to them, Queen Victoria saved the country from going into splinters from the hands of Moguls. She was instrumental in bringing the country together. Hence she is to be remembered with dignity, says the Hindu Sena. It is possible to believe this argument. No other force could have brought together the country that was torn in different directions. If one can critically imagine the country of that day which was as many segments as possible, at least 70% of the people were engaged in slavery even before the Moguls and British came to India. They were being exploited by their own people by not being allowed to even touch water from the lake, pond etc. They didn’t have any right to education or even to walk freely on the streets.
The British introduced English education thus enabling the Dalits to access education as well. Sati system, child marriage and other evil practices were banned in the country due to the Moguls and the English. But at the same time, the British looted India and took the resources and valuables to their nation. Moguls attacked India too, but they stayed back here and become one among our own. Moguls saves the country from upper caste feudal rulers like Rajput and Thakurs. Whatever they took from this country, they presented it back. They never carried it outside. The whole world saw their contribution to India in the form of music, food, culture, arts and education.
Queen Victoria lived in England who perceived Indians as her slaves. Lakhs of Indians have laid down their lives to obtain freedom from British rule and establish democracy in the country. British won this country for their selfish gains. Queen Victoria wasn’t willing to grant freedom to India. She wasn’t even compassionate towards Indians. If the countrymen didn’t come together to fight her, we wouldn’t even be free today. But Unfortunately, Hindu Mahasabha didn’t participate in the freedom movement. Instead, it joined hands with the British. Leaders like Vinayak Damodar Savarkar wrote appeals after appeals to the British administrators that the former would be the slaves of British till the end of their lives, if they are set free.
When Subhas Chandra Bose built an army against the British, Hindu Mahasabha stood with the British instead of Bose. Savarkar often gave clarion call to Indian youths that they should join the army in bug numbers. Hindu Mahasabha betrayed Bose. Hence, it is quite natural that the Sangh Parivar would remember Queen Victoria. But the Sangh Parivar leaders have to remember something. Who fought against the army of Queen Victoria? Kittur Chennamma, Tipu Sultan, Jhansi Rani, Nana Saheb, Tantya Tope were killed by Victoria’s army.
Not just that, thousands of Indians were killed in Jallian Wala Bagh Massacre and leaders like Bhagat Singh were sent to gallows and Lala Lajapat Roy beaten to death by her men. These people who romanticize Godse who killed Gandhiji, naturally have deep rooted love for Victoria. So far, they couldn’t show it openly. But now by paying tribute to her openly, Sangh has shown who they are inclined to love more. Whether Victoria got some due respect or not is a point apart, Sangh Parivar as humiliated the memory of thousands of patriots starting from Kittur Chennamma to Bhagat Singh. The government has lodged sedition case on Kanhaiyya and others for anti-India sloganeering. No case has been registered yet against these brave men who shouted slogans in support of Queen Victoria on the day prior to Bose’s birth anniversary. To expect a government to initiate suitable action against those who supported a betrayer of freedom fighters, is highly impossible.

K'taka govt, Taiwan's Allegiance Group sign MoU to establish industrial technology innovation park
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka government on Friday signed an MoU with Allegiance International Co Ltd of Taiwan to establish an Indo-Taiwan Industrial Technology Innovation Park (ITIP) in the state, with a proposed investment of around Rs 1,000 crore.
The MoU was signed by Rahul Sharanappa Sankanur, Director, Department of Electronics, IT, BT and Lawrence Chen, VP, Allegiance Group in the presence of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Minister for Electronics, IT & BT Priyank Kharge, and senior officials.
The project will be undertaken by the Allegiance Group with a proposed investment of around Rs 1,000 crore, leading to the creation of about 800 direct jobs via the companies setting up operations in ITIP over a period of 5 years, the IT&BT Minister's office said in a statement.
The ITIP will serve as a dedicated hub for Taiwanese companies in electronics and semiconductors, fostering advanced manufacturing, R&D, and innovation. This collaboration aims to strengthen Karnataka's position as India's leading destination for Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) and accelerate the growth of the semiconductor ecosystem in the state.
Key highlights of the MoU include establishment of a world-class industrial park to house Taiwanese firms in electronics and semiconductor sectors; development of a robust supply chain ecosystem for components, PCBs, and chip design; creation of high-value jobs and skill development programmes in collaboration with academic institutions; and promotion of technology transfer and global best practices to enhance India's competitiveness in electronics manufacturing.
CM Siddaramaiah said this partnership marks a significant step towards realising Karnataka's vision of becoming a global hub for electronics and semiconductor innovation.
