Baliya . The birth date of freedom fighter Mangal Pandey has two records on Wikipedia, which is confusing people across the country. Born in Nagwan village of Ballia, 1857, the birth date of Mangal Pandey, the great hero of the first revolution of independence, is given on July 19, 1827 in the English-language Wikipedia, while in the Hindi-language Wikipedia, 30 January 1831 is recorded. Apart from this, there are many other social sites, where his birth anniversary has been told on 19 July 1927. In such a situation, the birth anniversary of this magnum opus will be celebrated twice a year. In order to clear up this confusion, when he spoke to the experts of Ballia, he presented many evidences of the birth date of Mangal Pandey, 30 January 1831.
Mangal Pandey’s date of birth is not 19 July 1827
Writer Shivkamar Kaushikeya, a resident of the city, has written a book on Mangal Pandey, Mangal Pandey, the first hero of the revolution, based on his evidence, has recorded his date of birth as 30 January. He informed that Mangal Pandey’s birth anniversary is 30 January 1831 in the great personality of the Class 6 textbook of Basic Education Council of Uttar Pradesh Government. The birth date is also recorded in the information department’s book Ballia Darshan. On January 30, events have been organized in Ballia for years, then giving wrong jubilee on various websites including Google is not appropriate from anywhere.
Vikramaditya Pandey raised questions in 1987
Shashikant Chaturvedi, president of the martyr Mangal Pandey Memorial Committee Kadam Chauraha, established in the city itself, says that he was an MLA in 1987. Vikramaditya Pandey also raised this question in the Vidhan Sabha. In 1990, Mangal Pandey’s statue was installed at Kadam Chauraha and his Nagwan village. The memorial has also been constructed by the government in the Nagan village of Mahanayak, his name is also Inter College, the date of birth is 30 July 1831 at both the places. In such a situation, to say his birth anniversary on 19 July 1827 is tampered with history.
Messing with the life character of the superstar
Krishnakant Pathak, president of the Mangal Pandey Vichar Manch, set up in Nagwan village, Mangal Pandey, says that Google should not be allowed to play with the life character of such a big freedom struggle fighter in the country. For this, the Government of India should take initiative to get their jubilee corrected and get it accurately marked. To correct this error, letters were written to Google and Wikipedia several times, but to date it has not been rectified. This is very unfortunate.
