Mangadh Dham is a witness to the incident of 17 November 1913 in which the British killed more than 1500 tribals but it is not mentioned in history. Was this incident neglected because the people who were martyred were tribals while those killed in Jallianwala Bagh were non-tribals?
Even before the Jallianwala Bagh scandal, the history of Indian freedom struggle has recorded reports of the slaughter of 1500 tribals by British soldiers in Mangarh in Banswara district, situated on the Gujarat-Rajasthan border, which has not found a proper place in the pages of history. The Jalianwala Bagh incident was completed by the British on 13 April 1919. About 6 years ago, on November 17, 1913, about 1500 Bhil tribals were killed by the British in Banswara district on the Rajasthan-Gujarat border. Historians did not give this much respect to this martyrdom of tribals. For example, the historian of Rajasthan, Gaurishankar Hirachand Ojha, has simply described it as "the birth of the Bhils".
On the Mangadh hill in Banswara district of Rajasthan, situated on the border of southern Rajasthan and Gujarat, has become a symbol of tribal identity and their historical sacrifice. The local people made it their name by the name of "Mangadh Dham". It is also being said that requests were made to make this place a national heritage. Even in the Lok Sabha, a voice was raised for this but the result was zero.
According to the information received, Mangadh is a witness to the indomitable courage and unwavering unity of the Bhil tribals, due to which the British had to chew grains. This solidarity was formed under the leadership of Govind Guru, who himself belonged to the Tallada (Banjara Samaj). After which, Govind Guru dedicated his life to the Bhil community. Most importantly, it was not only the British who were the targets of this historic uprising under their leadership, but also the local prince whose people of the Bhil community were moaning from their oppression. It is further mentioned that due to the bravery of the Bhil and the people of the Tallada community, it was due to the bravery of them that the Rajwads and the British were also part of their army. The image of Poonja Bhil, whom Maharana Pratap used to call his right hand, is even recorded in the memento of Mewar.
