Bawani
Imli’,
a
Famous
tree,
which
also
is
a
Martyr’s
memorial
located
on
the
Mughal
Road,
3
Kms
West
of
the
Tehsil
headquarters
near
Khajua
town
in
Bindki
sub-division
of
Fatehpur
District
in
the
Indian
State
of
Uttar
Pradesh.
On
this
tamarind
tree
on
the
28th
of
April
1858,
Braveheart
Thakur
Jodha
Singh
‘Ataiya’
and
his
Fifty-one
companions
were
hanged
to
death.
The
memorial
is
a
symbol
of
the
supreme
sacrifice
made
by
the
freedom
fighters.
The
Tamarind
tree
is
still
present
at
the
spot
and
locals
believe
that
after
the
massacre,
the
tree
has
stopped
growing.
This
incident
is
also
termed
the
2nd
Jallianwala
Bagh
massacre.
On
28th
April
1858,
he
was
hanged
along
with
51
of
his
comrades
at
the
Tamarind
tree
on
Mughal
Road.
But
the
barbarity
of
the
British
did
not
stop.
The
British
made
an
announcement,
“Whoever
takes
the
body
from
the
tree
will
also
be
Hung
from
the
same
tree.”
The
dead
bodies
hung
from
the
trees
for
37
days.
At
last,
Maharaja
Bhavani
Singh
on
the
4th
of
June,
1858
brought
down
the
bodies
from
the
tree
and
cremated
them.
That
Tamarind
tree
situated
between
Bindki
and
Khajua
is
remembered
today,
as
a
martyr
memorial.

the
