New Delhi (India), March 22: NRI entrepreneur and actor Jay Patel recently embarked on a profound journey to the Shyamji Krishna Varma Memorial, “Kranti Tirth” India House in Mandvi, Kutch. As he prepares to portray the iconic figure of Shyamji Krishna Varma in the upcoming film “Swatantrya Veer Savarkar,” Patel’s visit transcended mere research—it was a heartfelt homage to the enduring legacy of Indian revolutionaries.

Accompanied by a select team of researchers and historians, Patel’s exploration of the memorial was characterized by meticulous attention to detail and profound reverence for history. The corridors of the memorial, adorned with poignant photographs and artifacts chronicling Varma’s revolutionary endeavors, served as a window to the past, enabling Patel to immerse himself in the tumultuous era of India’s fight for independence.

As Patel retraced Varma’s footsteps through the memorial, he envisioned the stirring speeches and clandestine meetings that shaped the destiny of a nation. Every nuance, every anecdote, was absorbed with profound reverence, as Patel sought to capture the essence of Varma’s unwavering commitment to the cause of freedom.

For Patel, the visit to the Shyamji Krishna Varma Memorial was nothing short of a pilgrimage—a transformative journey of self-discovery and enlightenment. It served as a poignant reminder of the countless sacrifices made by individuals who dared to dream of a free and independent India. Emerging from the memorial with a renewed sense of purpose, Patel pledged to imbue his portrayal of Varma on the silver screen with authenticity and depth, honoring the spirit of resilience that defined India’s struggle for independence.

The Shyamji Krishna Varma Memorial stands as a living testament to the courage and sacrifices of Indian freedom fighters, including iconic figures like Veer Savarkar, Madam Cama, Sardar Rana, Madanlal Dhingra, and many more. Its objective extends beyond mere tribute—it seeks to educate and inspire future generations about the profound sacrifices made for India’s freedom.

Moreover, the significance of the memorial is further underscored by the journey of Varma’s ashes. In 2003, the urns containing Varma and his wife Bhanumati’s ashes were entrusted to the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi, by the Ville de Genève and the Swiss government, 55 years after Indian Independence. Subsequently, the Kranti Teerth memorial was erected in Mandvi in 2010, dedicated to Varma’s memory. Spread across 52 acres, the complex houses a replica of India House, alongside statues commemorating Varma and his wife—a poignant reminder of their indomitable spirit.

The journey to the Shyamji Krishna Varma Memorial serves as both a physical and metaphorical reminder of the timeless adage: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” In honoring Varma’s legacy, we honor the enduring spirit of freedom and resilience that continues to define the Indian nation.

Gratitude is extended to the government of Gujarat, Shyamji Krishna Varma Memorial Trust, and the knowledgeable individuals—Hirjibhai Kanani, Kirti Gor, Shakarbhai Gheda,Ashok Chaudhary  Pankaj Rajgor, Mahesh Thakkar, Nilesh Gadhavi, and Vijay Chauhan, Nupur Chaudhary and Kuldeep who provided invaluable guidance during Patel’s visit. Their unwavering support ensures that Varma’s legacy remains a beacon of inspiration for generations to come.

In a proud moment, versatile actor Randeep Hooda makes his directorial debut with the film “Swatantra Veer Savarkar,” set to release on 22nd March.
