RAMASINGH KUKA |
|
Martyrs
Except for one or two all the 68 Kukas got arrested. All of them were mercilessly shot
dead on the morning of 17th January. The collector Cowan was present along with his wife
when the Kukas were put to death. What happened on that morning has been narrated at the
beginning of this book.
Including the boy Kuka, 50 were killed on January 17th.
The rest of the Kukas were conveniently executed on the next day. Among these Waryam Singh
was a short man. The bullet from the gun would not touch him. The officers took pity on
him and asked to quit the place. But he would not. He brought a few bricks, which were
lying in the field and
prepared a small platform with them. Standing upon it he faced the gun. |
