बहुत आवश्यक है की हमारी नई पीढ़ी हमारे इतिहास के मजबूत चरित्रों के बारे में जाने और समझे। महारानी अहिल्याबाई होलकर जैसे महान व्यक्तित्व, इनके संघर्ष, इनका परिस्थितियों का आकलन, समाज के लिए आज भी प्रेरणा है।
Our tributes to great warrior Maharani who died on this day in 1795.
As a prominent ruler of the Malwa kingdom, Ahilyabai Holkar spread the message of dharma and promoted industrialisation in the 18th century. prospered during her 30-year rule from a tiny village to a flourishing city. is famous for having built numerous forts and roads in Malwa region, sponsoring festivals and offering donations to many Hindu temples. Her philanthropy reflected in the construction of a number of temples, ghats, wells, tanks and rest-houses stretching across the length of the country.
An English poem written by Joanna Baillie in 1849 reads:
“For thirty years her reign of peace,
The land in blessing did increase;
And she was blessed by every tongue,
By stern and gentle, old and young.
Yea, even the children at their mother’s feet
Are taught such homely rhyming to repeat
“In latter days from Brahma came,
To rule our land, a noble Dame,
Kind was her heart and bright her fame,
And Ahlya was her honored name.”
