Zorawar Singh Barhath
[edit]@Chanchaldm. Hi. Why did you remove all the sourced that I had provided regarding Zorawar Singh Barhath? Morever, you removed all his mentions. What kind of behaviour is that?
You should have started a discussion before removing sufficiently sourced material on your own.Krayon95 (talk) 03:55, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- Please check Deccan Herald, Sengupta p329, Mukherjee p107.
- Competitive exam materials aren't usually WP:RS. There are punctuation and spelling issues with quotations; Is it actually quote from Source? There may be minority opinions (like there are views that Bose himself threw the bomb). If any opinion is Fringe theory, It can't be added. Thank you.Chanchaldm (talk) 12:14, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hi ,@Chanchaldm. I agree regarding your point about competitive exam materials. However, on what basis did you disregard rest of the ten sources, all of which were provided with respective quotations? I assume you are not familier with the subject, as the majority opinion & the fact is Zorawar Singh was the one who hurled the bomb. And minority opinion being that it was Ras Bihari Bose, which has been clarified in the sources provided. The fallacy can be understood as he was the head of the organization behind the planning.
- Lastly, it is Basand Kumar Biswas which is considered fringe opinion, long back discarded. Even in the case proceedings, it confirms that he wasn't charged with the bombing but with handling of bombs regarding an earlier incident in Lahore. I would request you to consider all this before making further hasty edits in articles. Thank you. Krayon95 (talk) 13:18, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- Basanta Kumar Biswas's name is present in all Hardinge bomb case related articles on wiki for years as the one throwing it and with good quality reliable sources. I have already gave you three reliable sources, there are more. Please provide page nos and quotations from good quality and reliable sources here on talk page backing up your claims.Thank you.Chanchaldm (talk) 14:06, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- Just because it was present at wikipedia in earlier versions doesn't make it a fact. Personally, I believe its due to larger and longer presence of Bengali people here at wikipedia. Please wait as I would have to check sources again for page numbers. Thanks. Krayon95 (talk) 14:12, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- These are some of the sources whose page numbers are given.

PAGE: 133,134 "One of the very interesting episodes which took place during the trial of the Delhi conspiracy ease was that the whole case was based on circumstantial evidence and that there was lack of direct evidence. To quote the words of Mr. Alston: “However, as there was no direct evidence on the point and as it might be thought indirect evidence was not sufficient in itself to bring home legal proof we have not set out the Delhi Bomb outrage in the way we have set out the later Lahore Garden's bomb case.” Delivering the judgment Mr. Harrison, temporary additional Sessions Judge, Delhi, observed, “There is certainly no legal proof on the subject and it is merely an interesting coincidence that two months after the plan of campaign was formed in Lahore, a bomb precisely similar to those used in recent outrages in Calcutta and to that used in May, 1913, in Lahore was thrown at Delhi, and that the two accused who stand charged with having actually perpetrated that Lahore outrage, were absent from Lahore when this happened. Although there is no proof that this organisation had any hand in the throwing of the Delhi bomb, the literature which they published soon after shows how cowardly the members approved of this outrage. Though Balmukund was arrested and hanged in connection with ‘Hardinge-Bomb’ case,’yet, it is believed that Thakur Jorawar Singh Barhat, an ex-Kamdar of the Maharani of Jodhpur, who was wearing burka, had thrown a bomb from Marwari Library, Chandni Chowk, Delhi, and remained absconded with his revolutionary cousin Kunwar Pratap Singh Barhat."

PAGE: 1410,1411 "Even as the Indian princes were involved in Imperial pageantry and matters, and the governance of their own areas — often with a British administrator influencing decisions, nationalist politics of many hues, and several revolutionary movements, also gathered strength and support. The networks and affiliations of the revolutionary movements, in particular, cut across the boundaries of British-administered and princes administered India. Rajputana’s well-known poet, Thakur Kesari Singh Barhat (who had been born in a Charan family of Shahpura, Mewar), his brother Zorawar Singh and son Pratap Singh, were in close touch with revolutionaries like Ras Behari Bose. Zorawar Singh and Pratap Singh were party to the conspiracy to assassinate the Governor General Lord Hardinge, as he rode on elephant-back in a ceremonial procession in Delhi in December 1912 to celebrate the shifting of the capital of India from Calcutta to Delhi. The revolutionaries hurled a bomb at Hardinge, who survived the attack though his bodyguard was killed. Pratap Singh and his brother-in-law, Ishar Dan Asa, were arrested but were let off later due to lack of evidence. Subsequently, Pratap Singh and Zorawar Singh, who were wanted by the police in some other cases, absconded. (The latter was not arrested till he returned to Kota)."

At the instance of his great brother, he joined hands with Master Amir Chand, that leader of the revolutionaries in and around Delhi. He took part in the Delhi Bomb outrage of 23 December 1912 in which Lord Hardinge was seriously wounded. The police did their very best to arrest him but failed."

- These sources do not look like good sources as these aren't WP:HSC. For example S Chand publishes school text books and competitive exams materials. Most of these didn't even mention Barhath threw the bomb. Anyway I will look for some good Source (if there's any), when I will have time. Currently I am too busy in RL. Please don't make edits with these sources in the meantime. Thank you. Chanchaldm (talk) 05:21, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- S. Chand is nevertheless reliable. It has published a lot of history related books & its known for its accuracy. You can also see this list of articles which use S. Chand published books as sources, and many many of these articles are history related.

- You're right it is used in some articles, but mainstream views already exist in these articles for years with high quality sources. We need better source to counter it. I will look into it. Thanks.Chanchaldm (talk) 03:37, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Lord Hardinge was injured, Rashbehari Bose went underground. Zorawar Singh and Pratap also fled and could not be arrested. Rashbehari Bose was hiding in Nuddea (West Bengal). Attractive prizes were announced for those who could give any clues about Zorawar and Pratap. Still Pratap took the risk of meeting Rashbehari for seeking guidance for the future of the violent revolution knowing fully well that he would be hanged if caught. Younger brother Zorawar Singh could not be caught by the government and remained underground for his whole life."

- The books "J. R. Kanungo (1965) Know Your Rajasthan" was written in 1965 that's why I included it. Anyway, if you could read or translate the hindi sources, you would know that there is substantial evidence & testimony in favour of Zorawar Singh.
- Multiple persons including Ram Narayan Chaudhary, a contemprary nationalist confirmed that it was Zorawar Singh who threw the bomb. Pratap Singh himself, before he died told him about the whole incident as Pratap was also with Zorawar Singh at Chandni Chowk on 3 December 1912.
- Morever, Zorawar Singh himself during his exile in Sitamau kingdom disclosed his identity to Maniraj Singh Jagawat of Ekalgarh and narrated him the incident.
- And we have another testimony from the grand-daughter of Kesari Singh Barhath, that Zorawar Singh showed him the exact place in Chandni Chowk from where he hurled the bomb at the Viceroy. Krayon95 (talk) 06:33, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
