@dalsingh101 - Heard about this assassination? A Pathan did it.

Quote

In February 1872, Lord Mayo, Governor-General of India, was assassinated at the penal settlement of Port Blair in the Andaman Islands whilst paying a viceregal visit to the Province of British Burma. His assassin, a Pathan from North West India who had been in the Peshawar police, made no attempt to escape. He had been serving a life sentence for murder, a murder of which he had declared himself ‘Not Guilty’.

If you get a chance, please do look into it. Daas heard about this incident in Katha by a Naamdhariya. It was in the same year 1872 that Baba Raam Singh jee Naamdhari were exiled to Burma. Daas is not sure if there is any connection there. Did the Pathan knew Baba jee?

 

Bhul chuk maaf
