Very good book and must read by all Indians to understand conspiracy behind controversial Koregaon Monument. Book is written by Advocate Rohan who himself is descendant of Koregaon Column in-charge, appointed by Britishers at that time who participated and fought in the battle from English side in 1818. It has less than 100 pages with all necessary evidence collected from different sources. It is short but point to point written book which does not contain unnecessary and unrelated contents and mostly focus on the facts from Koregaon Bhima battle and column built by britishers.

The Battle of Bheema Koregaon which happened on 1st January 1818 is now touted as the battle between the oppressed lower caste and the oppressive Brahmins. In reality it was one of the battles fought as a part of the 3rd Anglo Maratha war between the Maratha army and British army. The Battle of Koregaon Bhima was inconclusive in the Third Anglo-Maratha War, a series of battles.
This book is an attempt to promote social harmony by recounting the two-century- old battle's evidence-based factual history. This book provides information on the Koregaon Bhima battle, the construction of the Jai Stambh, Bhim Ramji Ambedkar's visit and anti-British resistance, the disinformation campaign, and the reality.
The British called this battle 'Defense of Koregaon'. A later erected pillar also mentions Defense of Koregaon'. If we read all of the British correspondence, we will notice that the battle of Koregaon is referred to as a "defence war", the battle of Koregaon Bhima on January 1st 1818 was thus a defensive battle in the eyes of the British, and an unnecessary obstacle in the eyes of the Maratha army and the Peshwa.
The events of the Koregaon Bhima battle until 9 p.m. indicate that the battle ended in a draw. The Marathas would not gained much by defeating Staunton's small army which suddenly appeared in front of them as they marched towards Pune for a decisive battle. The Maratha army's main goal was to get Chhatrapati Pratapsinh and Bajirao Peshwa safely to their next stop before any more English troops arrived to assist Staunton. As a result, they were not eager to prolong the siege of Koregaon.
There is a narrative that British army had Mahar castes while Peshwa army had Brahmins which is totally wrong. Both army had soldiers from all castes. This book also tell us that Mahar were not part of British army instead army discrimated against Mahar.
Even Ambedkar and his followers went to Koregoan Bhima to start a movement against British for recruiting people Mahar caste. "If the British government does not lift the military ban on Mahars, there should be a movement against the government," Dr Ambedkar urged the society's conscience. However, Babasaheb did not refer to January 1, 1818 as 'Shaurya Din.' He did not request that his followers observe Shaurya Din every year. He also did not say that this was a battle caste annihilation in which 500 Mahar soldiers led by Sidnak Mahar defeated 28,000 Peshwa soldiers.
In this context, the real question is who is behind the recent misleading practise of celebrating Shaurya Divas on 1 January every year to commemorate 500 Mahar soldiers defeating 28,000 Brahmin Peshwa soldiers for caste annihilation. It should be noted that in the 29 years between 1927 and the day of his Mahanirvana, Dr Ambedkar never returned to Koregaon.
In contemporary correspondence or books, there is no mention saying this battle was a battle to eradicate caste discrimination in the then Indian society. In relation to this battle, words such as '500 Mahars, injustice to Mahar society, Sidnak Mahar, end of Peshwai, 28000 assassinated, revenge for Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's murder, caste battle against Brahmins, Mahar regiment' etc are not even mentioned.
According to information obtained through RTI, there was an intelligence input of a planned attack on writer's residence on January 1, 2018, for which police protection was provided. We are seeing firsthand the consequences of the social discord that is being created. We can also see the what happened in Elgar Parishad which was held in 31st Dec 2017.
The book, which is now available in Marathi, Hindi and English, uses evidence-based research to cut through the web of lies and propaganda that vested interest organisations have created around the Battle of Koregaon Bhima.

काही समाजकंटक मुद्दाम एक ऐतिहासिकघटनेला जातीयवादीच गालबोट लावून समजामध्ये फूट पाडण्याचा प्रयत्न करत आहे. यामध्ये नक्कीच राजकिय आणि वैयक्तिक स्वार्थीपणा आहे. जर स्तंभाच नीट अभ्यास केला तर त्यावरील नाव बे मिश्र जाती चे आहेत. तसेच पत्रव्यवहार, दस्तऐवज, आंबेडकरांची सभा चे उल्लेख इत्यादी संदर्भ दिले आहे ज्यामध्ये कुठेच असे स्पष्ट नमूद नाहीये की ही जातीअंताची लढाई होती.
जर अडव रोहन माळवदकर यांच्या पुस्तकंमधला इतिहास खोटा आहे तर मला खालील पडलेल्या प्रश्नाची कृपया कोंनाकडे उत्तर असतील तर द्यावी.
1. जर ही महार विरुद्ध पेशवे अशी होती तर स्तंभावर मिश्र जातींची नावे का?
2. जर ही जात विद्रोही होती तर इंग्रजाच्या सेनेत सुधा मिश्र जात - मराठा सैनिक कसे.
3. जर महार - पेशव्यांची लढाई होती तर इंग्रज का लढत होते.
4. जर महार जिंकले तर इंग्रजांनी का जय स्थंभ बांधला आणि जमादार कुटुंबाला स्तंभाचे
इन्चार्ज केले.
5. जेंव्हा इंग्रज जय स्थंभाची जबाबदारी जमादार कुटुंबांना दिली तेंव्हा कोणी महार लढलेल्यानी का नाही जय हक्कासाठी बोलले कुठे नमूद आहे.
6. 500 महार 2800 पेशव्यांना मारून जर जिंकले होते तर मग बाबासाहेब आंबेडकरांनी त्यांच्या कारकीर्दीत कधीच या लढाईचा उल्लेख का केला नाही.
7. जर ही जाती अंतवादी लढाई होती तर मग इंग्रज का लढले आणि काही इंग्रज बटालियन मदतीस येऊन शहीद झाले.
