I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT KHED THE BIRTHPLACE OF SHIVRAM RAJGURU THERE IS ONLY ONE HUT ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE SHOWING THE BIRTH PLACE OF SHIVRAM RAJGURU AND A NOTICE BOARD IS WRITTEN BY ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIAN OFFICIALS THAT THIS PLACE IS OF MOST HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE BUT I WAS ASTONISHED TO SEE THAT IT WAS NOT CONVERTED INTO A NATIONAL MUSEUM AND WAS NEGLECTED SINCE ALL THESE YEARS BY CONGRESS GOVERNMENTS FOR MORE THAN SIX TO SEVEN DECADES

I FEEL THAT MAHARASHTRA TOURISM DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND INDIA TOURISM DEPARTMENTS WILL CONVERT RAJGURUNAGAR INTO A GOOD AND A VERY BIG SHAEEDI MEMORIAL FOR THE YOUING MARTYRS SO THAT TOURISTS FROM INDIA AND ABROAD CAN VISIT RAJGURUNAGAR, SIMILARLY LODGES, HOTELS, MOTELS AND SIMILARLY 5 STAR OR 3 STAR HOTELS AND MALLS CAN BE CONSTRUCTED FOR THE VISITORS TO VISIT RAJGURUNAGAR IN LARGE NUMBERS TO HONOUR THE LEGENDRY MAHARASTRIAN HERO WHO WAS HANGED AT HUSSAINIWALA FIROZPUR AT A SMALL AGE OF ONLY 22 YEARS I DONT KNOW WHY SHIVRAM RAJGURU BEING A TRUE MAHARASHTIAN BRAHMIN WAS NEGLECTED FOR ALL THESE 6 TO 7 DECADES,TOURISTS WILL VISIT RAJGURUNAGAR AND THIS PLACE CAN BE CONVERTED INTO A NATIONAL MUSEUM WITH ENTRY TICKETS OF ONLY RUPEES 50 FOR INDIAN VISITORS AND RUPEES 500 TICKETS FOR FOREIGN VISITORS WHO WILL VISIT THIS HISTOTICAL PLACE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE IN LARGE NUMBERS FURTHERMORE THE REAL ESTATE PRICES WILL ESCALATE LAND PRICES IN KHED DUE TO IT BEING A PLACE OF MONUMENTAL HISTORY OF INDIAN STRUGGLE AGAINST THE BRITISH REGIME AND EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND THE SACRIFICES MADE BY A MAHARASTRIAN BRAHMIN BOY OF ONLY 22 YEARS WHO WAS HANGED ALONG WITH BHAGAT SINGH AND SUKHDEV DURING THE FREEDOM STRUGGLE AT A VERY VERY YOUNG AGE OF 22 YEARS ,AND LASTLY I DESIRE THAT BEFORE MY DEATH RAILWAYS WILL DEFINITELY CHANGE THE NAME OF KHED RAILWAY STATION TO SHIVRAM RAJGURU NAGAR IN ORDER TO REMEMBER THIS REVOLUTIONARY OF MAHARASHTRA FOR ALL THE GENERATIONS TO FOLLOW
