Port Blair, 17th May: Today Andaman and Nicobar Islands observed, the Great Battle of Aberdeen day and paid tributes to heroes of the historic Battle of Aberdeen. But did anyone notice that we have completely forgotten the Martyrdom Day of Martyr Mahabir Singh, who gave his life for our country in the Cellular Jail.
According to several history books Martyr Mahabir Singh, Born Sept. 16, 1904, an associate of Bhagat Singh (Lahore conspiracy case) protested the inhuman treatment meted to the prisoners in Andaman and sat in hunger strike. He was force fed milk which went into his lungs and he died. The date was 17 May, 1933.
He gave his life to this country but sadly after his death, we did not even bother to remember his sacrifices.
