00:00As a descendant of Arya, I have been trying to consolidate and unify those things since childhood.
00:07I was a student in school and when the Chinese war happened in 1962,
00:13when India was attacked, there was a huge exodus.
00:17At that time, I was studying in school, I was in lower class.
00:21So, the radio was the medium of the media.
00:24So, the government's order was that,
00:26whether it was the DM's or SDO's office,
00:29the news would be broadcast from the loudspeakers of the foreign radio
00:33as to where the situation was,
00:35so that the morale of the people of India did not break.
00:39In the same way, after many years, a cannon was brought.
00:43Later, when we investigated, we came to know where the cannon came from and how it came.
00:48Now, this is a treasury and in front of the new SDO building area,
00:55a small platform was made and a pillar was placed on it.
01:01Gradually, time passed and it went into the ground.
01:05It was not maintained.
01:07People were confused.
01:09After that, when I came to college,
01:11I thought, where did this cannon go?
01:13I came to know that it went into the ground.
01:16It was suppressed.
01:17So, we excavated it and brought it out.
01:20And then, coincidentally, when I started working as the PSP of the Minister of Defence in the South Block,
01:28so, I started the process of finding out where the cannon came from and how it came.
01:32In the meantime, our Colonel Haji Dutt,
01:36he was posted in Lucknow.
01:38There is a history of the army there.
01:41We came to know that it was brought from the Nawab of Murshidabad.
01:53It was a British 9-pounder cannon.
01:57After that, we made a history of it with our own efforts.
02:02We remounted it and renovated it.
02:08We restored it in a proper way, as you can see in the picture.
02:13It is unfortunate that our administration or the present generation of RIA
02:19did not know where the cannon came from, how it came, and who did it.
02:24When it was brought to a new place from there,
02:27where it is now,
02:29they broke the plate of the cannon.
02:32So, it remained as a monument.
02:34What is it? How did it come?
02:36It is a sad thing.
02:38It is a shame that it was brought in front of the eyes of the SBO.
