Legacy of tribal community is full of valour and sacrifice
Welcoming the tribal artists to Bhopal, Chief Minister Chouhan said that today Bhopal and Madhya Pradesh are painted in tribal colours. Our culture, art, dance traditions are amazing. Tribal society lives life in its joy and fun, this is the speciality of this society. You people have come on Bhopal Janjatiya Gourav Diwas. Bhopal Janjatiya Gourav Diwas means we are warriors too. Tribal heroes have offered even the last drop of their blood to cut the shackles of slavery from the feet of Mother India. Many warriors like Birsa Bhagwan, Tantya Mama, Raja Raghunath Shah-Shankar Shah, Bhima Nayak challenged the British. Tribal heroes filled fear in the minds of the British. Our legacy is full of valour and sacrifice. The contribution of Raja Sangram Shah, Dalpat Shah, Rani Durgavati and Rani Kamalapati of Bhopal cannot be forgotten.
We cannot forget the sacrifice of Rani Kamlapati
Chief Minister Chouhan said that this entire area was Gondwana. From Ginnorgarh to Garha Mandla was the kingdom of the Gonds. The tribal community used to have 52 bastions. Chief Minister Chouhan said that Nizam Shah used to rule in Ginnorgarh. His wife's name was Kamlapati. Outside commander Dost Mohammad conquered this region by deceit and treachery. Chief Minister Chouhan said that Rani Kamlapati was expert in water management, she had constructed many stepwells, parks, temples, ponds etc. She was particularly sensitive to the problems of the people. Rani's son Naval Shah fought at Lal Ghati at the age of 14. When Nawal Shah was defeated, killed in battle and the queen got the idea that she could no longer win, she took water samadhi in the Lower Lake to protect her honour. Jal Jauhar was committed by Rani Kamlapati. Chief Minister Chouhan said that we cannot forget the sacrifice of Rani Kamlapati. She gave her life for the honour. Rani Kamlapati did not allow the outside invaders to capture her kingdom while she won.
Tribal warriors forgotten
Chief Minister Chouhan said that history had forgotten Rani Kamlapati. Tribal warriors were forgotten. Expressing gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Chouhan said that Habibganj railway station has been named after Rani Kamalapati on his initiative. Prime Minister Modi has accepted the proposal sent by the State Government. We are grateful to them. Prime Minister Modi immortalized the name of Rani Kamlapati.
