Tuhi Ram The Great Poem by vijay gupta

Tuhi Ram the great

(Miracle of a receipt)

“Sir,

We have submitted our Revenue before four months ago and receipt is here.”

It was Thakur Tuhi Ram, the then Zamindar of Sapnawat village of Meerut district and now it is in Ghaziabad district, was saying to Mr. Danlop the then collector of Meerut district.

Time was of great Indian freedom struggle 1857.

Struggle was brutally crushed by the east India Company.

Collector Mr. Danlop was very much surprised to see that receipt because no village had been submitted revenue in his area.

After suppression of freedom struggle army hanged over unaccountable people and burnt more than fifty percent villages of Meerut district. In this way Th. Tuhi Ram saved the life of about three thousand people and to village Sapnawat from burning. After some time Tuhi Ram disclosed that he got that receipt with out submitting a single coin by the help of the then tehsildar of Hapur.

The tehsildar was a silent supporter of freedom struggle.

Records of tehsil was Burnt by the fighters therefore verification was not possible and receipt was finally accepted.

In this way the act of Tuhi Ram will be remembered as a life saver hero of Indian freedom struggle 1857 for ever in human history.

(Story is told to me by Dr. Davendra Singh of Meerut and it is based on historical true documents)
