    Highlights

    Raisen became a part of independent India in 1949 instead of 1947. People protested as Bhopal state was not merged with India. The tricolour was hoisted here after the sacrifice of four youths in Bouras.

    Chetan Rai, Navdunia Raisen. Although our country got independence from British rule on 15 August 1947, Raisen became a part of independent India in 1949. In fact, for three years, the Nawab of Bhopal State kept thinking about forming a separate country or merging with Pakistan.

    It was a crime to hoist the national flag

    Bhopal was ruled by the Nawab from 15 August 1947 to 1 June 1949, i.e. for 659 days. It was considered a crime to hoist the Indian national flag here. Bhopal Nawab Hamidullah Khan wanted to keep it as an independent princely state. At the same time, Hyderabad Nizam was urging him to merge with Pakistan, which was geographically impossible.

    There was a lot of resentment among the people due to the non-merger of Bhopal State even after so much time of independence, which turned into a merger movement, which later took a violent form. A merger movement was launched for independence. Raisen, Sehore district was the main center of the strategy and activities of the merger movement for the merger of Bhopal State into the Indian Union.

    agitation in Sihor Raisen

    The tricolor was hoisted on 14 January in Bouras

    The tricolour was to be hoisted in Boras on 14 January. Seeing the absence of all the big leaders of the movement, Baijnath Gupta came forward and hoisted the tricolour. As soon as the tricolour was hoisted, the Narmada coast of Boras echoed with the slogans of Bharat Mata Ki Jai and merger will happen.

    Bullets fired on those raising slogans

    The police chief said that anyone who raises slogans of merger will be shot dead. On hearing this threat from the inspector, a 16-year-old boy named Chhotelal came forward with the tricolour in his hand and shouted slogans like Bharat Mata Ki Jai and merger will happen.

    Many sacrificed their lives to not let the flag fall

    The police opened fire on Chhotelal, before he could fall a youth named Dhansingh grabbed the tricolour, Dhansingh was also fired upon, then Mangalsingh and Vishal Singh were fired upon, but no one let the tricolour fall down. These four youths were martyred, but did not let the tricolour fall down. Many people were seriously injured in this firing incident.

    News of the funeral procession of the martyrs reached Delhi

    A large number of people from Hoshangabad and Sehore had participated in the merger movement meeting held in Boras. People were very angry due to the Boras firing incident. The Nawab was also scared due to the anger of the people. On January 16, a huge funeral procession of the martyrs was taken out, in which thousands of people participated.

    Bhopal was finally merged on 1 June 1949
