As the Centre and several States are trading allegations and counter-allegations over the tableaus to be displayed at the Republic Day parade in Delhi, the Gujarat government on Saturday announced the theme of the State’s tableau. It will be based on a incident of tribal massacre ‘worse than Jallianwala Bagh’ that occurred in the State around 100 years ago.
“Around 100 years ago, in Pal and Dadhvaav villages of North Gujarat’s Sabarkantha district, the Britishers massacred 1,200 tribals, an incident worse than Jallianwala Bagh. This Republic Day, the Gujarat government, through a tableau, will present this untold story of bravery and sacrifice of the tribals,” a State government release said.
