Protest against the announcement of Queen Victoria.....??

In the independence of India, many brave revolutionary women contributed against the British rule and sacrificed everything. Those women revolutionaries include women like Rani Laxmibai, Savitribai Phule, she is one of them. Begum Hazrat Mahal.

Begum Hazrat Mahal was born in 1820 in Faizabad district of Uttar Pradesh. His childhood name was Muhammadi Khatoon. She was a courtesan by profession, her father was very poor. In fact, her father was a slave with the landlord, the condition of the house was not good, her parents sold her, then she came as a khawasin in the royal harem. After this she was sold to royal brokers, after which she was given the title of Pari and she came to be known as 'Mahak Pari'. Begum Hazrat Mahal was the wife of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah of Awadh. He got the title of 'Hazrat Mahal' after the birth of his son Birjis Kadar.

When in 1856 the Nawab refused to accept the principles under the British rule. Then the British captured the kingdom of Awadh and sent Nawab Wajid Ali Shah to Calcutta and made him a prisoner. When her husband was taken prisoner, Hazrat Mahal started to spark against British rule. Then Begum Hazrat Mahal took over the reins of Awadh and occupied Lucknow. He himself fought the British army by placing his minor son Birjis Qadar on the throne.

In 1857, in India's first war of independence, he revolted against the British East India Company. After the coronation of his son, Hazrat Mahal showed his courage and bravery in the revolt of 1857. He inspired the citizens of Awadh state to fight against the British. Hazrat Mahal had an unprecedented capacity for organization, due to which the zamindars, farmers and soldiers of the province of Awadh supported him and continued to grow under his leadership. Along with this, he also got a lot of support from Nana Sahib in this freedom struggle, who was one of the friends of Rani Laxmibai. To increase the morale of her forces, Begum Hazrat Mahal used to lead her soldiers in the field and fought the British with her sword. In the battle of Alambagh, she had gone on an elephant to fight the enemy. Like Rani Laxmibai, women's military contingent was also included in his army. She continued to fight against the British while leading the armies of Awadh efficiently. The revolt of Lucknow had liberated many areas of Awadh such as Sitapur, Gonda, Bahraich, Faizabad, Sultanpur, Salon etc. from the British.

Soon the British captured Lucknow due to their superior war weapon, due to which Begum Hazrat Mahal had to leave Lucknow. After leaving Lucknow, he along with Maulvi Ahmadullah Shah of Faizabad continued his rebellion against the British rule.

On 1 November 1858, Queen Victoria took over the East India Company's British rule in India by her proclamation. where did the queen go

Everyone will be given due respect. But Begum Hazrat Mahal had opposed the announcement of Queen Victoria. He made the people aware of his flaws. After the crushing defeat in Lucknow, the woman went to the countryside and from there also the spark of revolution reached the limit. All the women had joined Begum Hazrat Mahal and Maharani Laxmibai's military cantonment. In Lucknow, the women's military contingent of Begum Hazrat Mahal was headed by Rahimi, who taught all the women how to use cannon and guns by adopting military disguise. Under the leadership of Rahimi, these women fought fiercely against the British. All the British officers used to come to the Tawaif of Lucknow, Hydaribai, and many times used to talk about the plans against the revolutionaries. Hydaribai, showing her patriotism beyond the profession, conveyed these important information to the revolutionaries and later she also joined Rahimi's military team. Begum Hazrat Mahal fought the British with all her might as long as she could. Eventually he had to lay down his arms and take refuge in Nepal. Later the British offered him to come to Lucknow. But Begum turned down his offer.In this way she breathed her last in Nepal in 1887 and was buried in the soil there.

Memorial

The tomb of Begum Hazrat Mahal is located near the Jama Masjid (at the Ghantaghar) in the center of Kathmandu. This place is not far from Durbar Marg. It is looked after by the Jama Masjid Central Committee.

On 15 August 1962, 'Old Victoria Park' in Hazratganj, Lucknow was renamed as 'Begum Hazrat Mahal Park' in honor of Begum Hazrat Mahal. Along with the name change, a marble monument was also built here. Celebrations like Ramlila, Dussehra and Lucknow Mahotsav are organized in Begum Hazrat Mahal Park.

On 10 May 1984, the Government of India issued a postage stamp in his honor.

FORCE AND LAWS OF MOTION, Class IX, Part 3

                                         In order to understand Newton’s second law of motion, we should first know the meaning of the term momentum of a moving body (or moving object). We know that a cricket ball is much heavier than a tennis ball. Suppose we throw a cricket ball and a tennis ball, both with the same speed or velocity. It will be found that more force is required to stop the cricket ball (Which has more mass) and less force is required to stop the tennis ball (which has less mass). We conclude that the force required to stop a moving body is directly proportional to its mass. If we throw two cricket balls of the same mass at different speeds or velocities, it will be found that more force is required to stop that cricket ball which is moving with higher velocity and less force is required to ...

FORCE AND LAWS OF MOTION, Class IX, Part 4

  If a boy wearing roller skates stands facing a wall and pushes the wall with his hands, the boy finds himself moving backward, away from the wall. It appears as if the wall also pushes the boy away. When the boy exerts a force on the wall by pushing it with his hands, then the wall exerts an equal force on the boy in the opposite direction . Since the boy is wearing roller skates, the opposite force exerted by the wall makes him backward, the boy on roller skates is exerting force on the wall towards the left side. The wall exerts an equal force on the boy towards the right side. Due to this, the boy moves in the backward direction. From this discussion, we conclude that when a boy exerts a force on the wall, the wall exerts an equal and opposite force on the boy . This is just an illustration of Newton’s third law of motion. Whenever one body exerts a force on another body, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force on the second body. The force exerted by the firs...

Electric Charges and Fields     Problems Question1. The charged particle, of charge 2 μ C and mass 10 milligrams, moving with a velocity of 1000 m / s entres a uniform electric field of strength 10 3 NC -1 directed perpendicular to its direction of motion. Find the velocity and displacement, of the particle after 10 s. Solution. The velocity of the particle, normal to the direction of the field.                   V x = 1000 ms -1 ,       is constant The velocity of the particle, along the direction of the field, after 10 s is given by Question2. Assuming that the charge on an atom is distributed uniformly in a sphere of radius 10 -10 m, what will be the electric field at the surface of the gold atom? For gold, Z = 79. Solution. The charge may be assumed to be concentrated at the center of the sphere of radius 10 -10 m. ...
