Hindustan Times Pune
|April 19, 2025
Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, along with deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, on Friday visited Krantiveer Chapekar Memorial of freedom fighters Chapekar brothers, who in 1897 assassinated a British officer for mismanaging Pune's plague.
PUNE:
The chief minister urged school students to visit the memorial in Chinchwad, saying that the place is not only about where the British officer was killed but also gives a "glimpse of the progressive thoughts of their entire family".
Damodar Hari Chapekar and Balkrishna Hari Chapekar assassinated British officer Walter Charles Rand and his military escort Lieutenant Ayerst on June 22, 1897, for his oppressive actions to stop the spread of the bubonic plague in 1896 in Pune.
The third brother, Vasudeo Hari Chapekar, and his associates Khando Vishnu Sathe and Mahadev Vinayak Ranade assassinated the Dravid brothers—Ganesh Shankar Dravid and Ramchandra Shankar Dravid—known to be police informants at that time.

Patel at 150: A life in service of the nation
When India gained independence on August 15, 1947, the British left behind a fractured subcontinent that included more than 560 princely states. Without geographical unity, its hard-won freedom would have been hollow. With vision, determination, and an unyielding will, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India’s first deputy prime minister and home minister, forged these scattered principalities into a single nation, giving independent India its shape and strength. However, the efforts of this great unifier did not receive the recognition he deserved.
