GANDHINAGAR: The bravery of adivasis of Pal-Dadhvav of Sabarkantha will feature in the Republic Day (R-Day) parade tableau this year. An official release said that the pre-Independence incident, which was even more gruesome than the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, will be known across the world through the tableau.
Statues of Motilal Tejawat, who led the uprising against the British, and 12 others will feature at Gujarat’s tableau along with five murals and live performances by artists during the R-Day parade, the official release said. About 1,200 tribals were shot dead at Pa and Dadhvav villages in 1922 when British soldiers foiled an uprising by tribals.
