Kharsawan

Town in Jharkhand, India

Kharsawan garh is a town and a notified area in the Seraikela Sadar subdivision of the Seraikela Kharsawan district in the Indian state of Jharkhand. On January 1, 1948, the town of Kharsawan in present-day Jharkhand witnessed a massacre reminiscent of what happened in Jallianwala Bagh in 1919. Police opened fire at a crowd gathered for a protest and the weekly haat (market), killing hundreds, or by some accounts, thousands of Adivasis. Odisa police say that the total number of deaths was around 35, but actual numbers are likely to have been far higher. In Memoir of a Bygone Era (2000), PK Deo, a former Lok Sabha MP and the last ruler of Kalahandi stated that at least 2,000 Adivasis were killed, and many more were likely injured.
