સોરઠી બહારવટિયા ભાગ-1/બહારવટાંની મીમાંસા પ્રવેશક: Difference between revisions

શ્રી કિનકેઈડ આ મુદ્દાને વધુ સ્પષ્ટ બનાવે છે  : એ ખાસ તો કાઠી બહારવટિયા વિશે લખે છે : “At first mere robbers, they, after many struggles, established themselves at the breakup of the Mogul empire firmly in the centre of the province. They were, however, like Sikhs before the time of Ranjitsing, a loosely knit confederacy, and they were unable in the 18th century to make headway against the growingof Junagadh. Thus it was that many of the smaller landholders wrote over part of their lands to the surrounding administration in order to secure protection for the reminder. But this promised protection was not always obtained. It always happened that when the protecting state had acquired part of the Kathi’s land, it hungered for the remainder. It would then provoke quarrels, and on some pretext or other violate its agreement. It was useless for the Kathi to seek redress in the State’s own court; so, calling together his servants and relatives, and placing his wife and children in some friendly shelter, he would turn his back on the homestead where his family had lived for centuries, and making Gir his Sherwood forest proceed to rob and murder in every direction until death, treachery or redress closed his picturesque but baneful career.” <ref>The Outlaws of Kathiawar (1905)</ref>  

એ સંજોગોમાંથી ત્રણ-ચાર પ્રકારના બહારવટિયા જન્મ્યા.
