FROM THE GENERAL EDITOR

I have very great pleasure in placing before the readers the first fruits of great
endeavour undertaken by the ICHR. When I was in the process of accepting on
behalf of my organization the task of compiling a national register of martyrs in
the form of a biographical dictionary, I approached the project with trepidations.
On the one hand I was deterred by the thought that such a project would be
inevitably fraught with controversies, and on the other there was an awareness
that the ICHR owes to the people the best it can deliver to fulfill expectations.
The background to the project is as follows: A project to compile ëa national
register of martyrsí was initiated by the National Implementation Committee
for organising celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the uprising of 1857 and
60 years of Indiaís independence. The ICHR accepted the project and necessary
funds at the request of the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. An
Advisory Committee, comprised of historians and representatives of the
Ministry of Culture and the National Archives of India, decided that the project
will produce a series of volumes entitled Dictionary of Martyrs: Indiaís Freedom
Struggle, 1857-1947, containing brief biographical notes based to the extent
possible on authentic archival and other contemporary documents. The
Advisory Committee also decided that the period to be covered by the present
project would be 1857 to 1947. (This, of course, does not preclude additional
projects to cover earlier years, if so proposed, to be taken up separately).
The Committee also accepted for purposes of this project a definition of
the term ëmartyrí which the Government of India adopted in 1980 to facilitate
the distribution of awards and pensions. ìA martyr is a person who died or
who was killed in action or in detention or was awarded capital punishment
while participating in a national movement for emancipation of India. It includes
an ex-INA or ex-military person who died fighting the Britishî.
Needless to say, there are quite a few biographical dictionaries of martyrs
viii Dictionary of Martyrs: India’s Freedom Struggle (1857-1947) Vol. I, Part I-A

of the freedom struggle. On the occasion of Gandhi Centenary Celebrations the


Ministry of Education, Government of India, began a project to compile a ìWhoís
Who of Indian Martyrsî. The definition of the term ëmartyrí the project adopted
was: ìpatriots who were hanged or killed in the struggle for freedomî. Three
volumes were published in 1969, 1972 and 1973, under the editorship of Dr.
P.N. Chopra. At the time of the centenary of the uprising of 1857, as well as on
analogous occasions to commemorate events in the freedom struggle, different
State governments published biographical dictionaries or lists of martyrs.
However, the above-mentioned publications did not indicate specifically sources
of historical data to establish their authenticity. In the present series of the ICHR
our researchers have utilized archival and other contemporary documents which
have been listed at the end of each biographical note as references. When they
have consulted secondary sources they have tried to cross-check and authenticate
the data with reference to primary sources whenever possible. Scholars may
now follow up the references to the archival data (vide ëAbbreviationsí to the
preliminary pages of this volume, and details of department, branch, file
numbers etc. in the references under each biographical note). Those who are
not satisfied with the brief biographical notes can thus gather more information.
In this project we addressed first the task of collecting data on the region
now known as Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi. Immediately
after this publication we will expand our ambit of activity to the rest of India
and there in some instances we may find the archival resources less easy to
access. For the present we are happy to report that only a small fraction of
biographical notes are not based on archival data. However, even in north India
the early records, specially on the uprising of 1857, yield only small bits of
biographical information. Our research team was asked to gather at least basic
information to establish identity, viz. name, date of birth or age at the time of
martyrdom, place of birth/residence; caste identity features in almost all
nineteenth century records and this is also included; these data are followed by
a summary of available information on the individualís participation in freedom
struggle and the course of events leading to death or martyrdom.
Many details of research of this kind may lead to controversies. The question
of inclusion or exclusion of some individuals may itself be a subject of
controversy. Our decision was to make this compilation as inclusive as possible.
Moreover, the primary sources we have depended upon may contain errors of
facts or interpretation; the inherent bias in the records of the British Indian
government is too obvious a thing to elaborate upon. In this collection of data
From the General Editor ix

an effort has been made to overcome such data limitations. Finally, it needs to
be said that a work of this nature cannot claim to be absolutely complete and
final. We may find gaps or omissions which need to be corrected; a
supplementary volume towards that end is part of the project plans.
In the last three years ICHR has published half a dozen volumes of the
Towards Freedom series; this meant documentation work of massive kind and
altogether about 4500 pages of documents have been published. This experience
was of great help to us. Some of those who worked in the present project have
had that experience as well. My role in the present work was marginal compared
to the enormous labour put in by the research team consisting of Dr. Rajesh
Kumar, Mr. Ashfaque Ali and Dr. Habib Manjar. In my judgement they have
done a marvelous job and so did Mr. Devendra Singh Bisht and Mr. Sanjeev
Singh who prepared the digital matter for the press. Sometimes the
administrative glitches which occur in a large project like this were taken care
of by Dr. Ishrat Alam, Member Secretary, and Dr. S.M. Mishra, Deputy Director
(Research), and earlier by Dr. P.K. Shukla.
Among those who helped the ICHR in the project I would like to thank my
historian colleagues, the experts who agreed to sit on the Advisory Committee
(Professors V. Ramakrishna, N. Rajendran, Subhas R. Chakraborty, T.R. Ghoble,
Indu Banga, V. Raghottam, Arjun Dev, Swaraj Basu, Dr. Pramod Mehra, Shri
S.M.R. Baqar) and the Northern Zonal Committee (Professors Indu Banga, Arjun
Dev, Swaraj Basu, Sunita Pathania, K.L. Tuteja, Sushil Srivastava, J.P. Mishra,
V.K. Vashistha, Dr. Amit Kumar Gupta and Dr. Pramod Mehra). And finally
thanks are due to the Secretary, Mr. Jawhar Sircar and Mr. Lov Verma and Dr.
T. Kumar, Joint Secretaries in the Ministry of Culture for their consistently
supportive role in this project.
