Onetime for me”.
I need a chance onetime,
An opportunity or a post Divine.
Give me a chance,
Give it onetime.
To serve my country,
To make myself free,

Allow me thee,
To set EVERYONE free,
This would be an attempt to make me glee
Just a chance, just single time,
Give me a chance, Give me onetime.
Give me a chance, Give me onetime.                                By- Amandeep Singh.

Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jhansi.


            As we all know that before some years we were the slaves of Britain. The British were cruel and treated our people very badly. Some people protested against it and they were also given severe punishments. To save people from these punishments great leaders and queens took birth. Amongst them one was the Rani Lakshmi Bai.
             She was born on 13th November, 1835. Her father’s name was Moraprant and mother’s was Bhagirathi.Her childhood name was Manu. She grew up in the company of Nana Sahib, the son of Peshwa Bajirao who also liked her. That time India was the slave of the British. The farmers and the people of north India were troubled of the Britishers. They took heavy amount of land revenue from the poor farmers. If the farmers were could not pay the tax they were cruelly punished by the Britishers. Nevertheless Lakshmi Bai did not like it and revolted against it. In the first war of Independence which is sometimes simply called ‘Mutiny’ or the ‘Great upheaval’. She bravely fought for her kingdom and refused to bow her head before the Britishers. It was at an early age when she was married to Gangadhar Rai who was then the ruler of Jhansi. After some days of marriage Gangadhar became seriously ill, then they adopted a son, Damodar as they had no son of their own. Soon Gangadhar died. After his death, Lord Dalhousie who was the Governor General, following the Docto0r Lapse refused to accept Damodar as the king.
             Rani Lakshmi was brave enough, she did not stop to fight for freedom. She collected weapons and ammution. When the British invaded the fort of Jhansi, they were surprised to see the brave daughter of the motherland India, with sword in her hand answering forcefully the cruel strokes of might enemies.
            Lakshmi Bai was certainly of no match of the British power . After losing Jhansi she fought for the fort of Gwalior. She continued fighting for her country till her last breath. After her many great leaders also sacrificed their lives to grt India free. Now just because of their hard work we are free.

Shivaji- the Great


                             

          The Marathas were the people who lived in Pune and some parts of Maharashtra. They were brave and courageous people and their economic source was based on agriculture. The Marathas also worked under the Mughals. It was Shivaji, at that time who brought awakening among the Marathas.
            Shivaji was born in 1627 A.D. at Shivner, a place near Pune. His father Shahji Bhonsle was a chief in the court of Sultan of Bijapur. His father remained out for most of the time and so Shivaji’s education was the responsibility of his mother Jijabai. Shivaji’s tutor was Konddeva. He was trained by them in warfare as well as in administration.
            Shivaji was very ambitious. He wanted to become a king. Therefore he gathered some men to form a small army. He made this army expert in guerilla warfare. Using the guerilla warfare the soldiers of Shivaji’s army even could fight with small army. Due to this he was given the title of ‘mountain rat’.
            The Mughal ruler at that time was Aurangzeb. When Aurangzeb heard about Shivaji’s exploits, he sent Shaista Khan to destroy him. Nevertheless Shaista khan was defeated by Shivaji at Poona. At last due to Shivaji’s exploits Aurangzeb declared him as king. In 1674, Shivaji was crowned king at his capital Raigarh. It was the birth of the first Maratha state.
            Shivaji was not only a good soldier but also a good administrator. He made the people arise against the mighty Mughals.

Prophet Muhammad.


Like the saints a prophet also took birth on the Earth. His name was Muhammad. He was born in A.D. 571in Mecca, a city in which the Kaaba, an important shrine is located. His father died before his birth, so his uncle brought him up.
Muhammad was, from the very beginning, meditative and imaginative. He always thought of the welfare and well-being of the downtrodden. He formed a new religion called Islam. Once, at the age of forty while he was meditating in a cave at Mount Hira he had ‘visions of truth’. The angel Gabriel appeared to him and told him to recite him the name of God, the Creator. The revelations that Muhammad received were to become the first part of Koran which in Arabic meant recitation or read loudly.
Unfortunately the ideas and beliefs of Muhammad were not liked by the rich merchants. Thus he had to face opposition and criticism of these people. Ultimately, he was forced to leave Mecca and seek refuge in Medina where he was given a warm welcome. This event took place in 622 A.D. This is known as Hijra or migration and is the first year of Muslim calendar. Here Muhammad preached the principles of Islam and very soon the people of Arabia accepted this new religion. Islam believed that Allah is one and only God. It also respect the theory of Brotherhood.
Prophet Muhammad was a sort of God to the Arabian people. Soon this new religion became famous in whole world especially in India and Pakistan etc. in India the people were Greatly influenced by the teachings of Islam and converted into Muslims. He died in 632 A.D.
