Lathi Hd Movie Download

Themedical literature of the earliest 20th century recognized the danger posed by lathis. One report from 1902 specifically noted 14 deaths from skull fractures and three deaths from a cerebral haemorrhage at a single medical centre in Bihar. Perhaps the best-known victim of a lathi charge lived during this period of violence. Lala Lajpat Rai, a leader of the Indian independence movement, was fatally wounded in 1928 during a lathi charge ordered by the British superintendent of police in Lahore (modern Pakistan). Over a hundred years later, little has changed about the prevalence of the lathi in policing.

Victims span demographic divides, although lathi charges have been especially pervasive in police response to student protests, enforcement of COVID-19 restrictions, and response to demonstrations by rural workers. The chaotic nature of lathi charges results in serious injuries to bystanders, such as one case in which an 18-month-old died from head injuries in 2021 and another in which an eight-year-old boy died in a stampede produced by lathi charges in 2019.

Since 2015, the Indian National Crime Records Database has recorded in its annual Crime in India reports the civilian injuries and fatalities resulting from police lathi charges. These reports found 78 civilians have died in police lathi charges since 2014. Over 2,000 civilian injuries from police lathi charges were recorded during this time period.

No details are available pertaining to the injuries that led to the fatalities, and it is likely that at least some of the deaths may be attributed to crowd crushing or trampling in the panicked environment that often follows a lathi charge. Strikes to the head likely account for many of the fatalities from lathis. The significant length of the lathi may account for the high number of fatalities. Impact energy at the tip of a baton increases in proportion to the length of the lever (baton and arm), so the exaggerated length of the typical lathi can cause severe injuries. Furthermore, in crowds, the length of the lathi limits the use of slashing strikes from the sides, leaving the dangerous overhand strike as the most viable option.

Lathi-charge regularly made headlines during the colonial rule-- and it continues to do so 72 years after Independence, most recently as the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests intensified across the country.

It has not just been a weapon of the police, but also many zamidars (feudal lords) who hired lathaits (men trained in lathi fights), often using them to keep a leash on tenants (worker- peasants), to grab land and collect rent.

Many believe that the police lathis should be replaced with shorter, lighter batons across the country. A case in point would be the recent riots in Hong Kong, when security forces were seen using arm-length batons.

There are wholesale traders on the outskirts of the city in places such as Bawana , Najafgarh, and Chhatarpur who sell lathis. They say they procure their lathis from Meerut , where there are some units that manufacture lathis.

Throughout Pink Sari Revolution, the stick carried by the Gulabi Gang is referred to as a pink-painted "baton." More accurately it is a lathi – a traditional Indian weapon, made of bamboo, with a long history of martial use.

Lathi (pronounced LAH-tee) literally means "bamboo stick" in Hindi. It is widely considered to be one of the oldest weapons in the world, and its use can be traced to aboriginal times throughout what is now eastern India and Bangladesh. Made from the male bamboo, it is usually six to eight feet long and is sometimes bound at intervals with iron rings or tipped with a metal blunt. It is an inexpensive, readily available weapon that is extremely effective at close range, operated by swinging like a bat or twirling and thrusting. The Times of India says, "When moved back and forth like a sword and aimed at someone, it cuts through the air, lands with a thwacking sound, peels off a thin layer of skin and sends waves of pain through the body, even as it splinters bone. One hard blow is numbing. A few solid whacks can cripple a man for life. A thrashing can dispatch someone to another world."

The lathi was originally used by tribes or individuals to settle disputes, but over time its function expanded to agrarian functions. Employed by farmers to manage livestock, similar to the way a shepherd might use a crook, it gave rise to a proverb well-known throughout many South Asian countries: "Whoever wields the lathi keeps the buffalo." As feudalism emerged, local warlords would use armies of lathial (those who wield a lathi with proficiency) for protection, battle, to intimidate and punish commoners, and to control their peasants in the field. Eventually the rich began hiring lathial guards for security as well as for a visual display of status.

During the Mughal Empire (1526-1857), the zamindar, a class of wealthy, land-owning aristocrats arose. They introduced a taxation structure on farmers known as the Zamindar System, which allowed for extraordinarily burdensome taxes to be levied and collected (by lathial) no matter what the land yields were. The system continued during British rule and was dismantled shortly after India gained independence in 1947 (the Bollywood film, Lagaan (aka Tax), hugely popular in India, is based on the zamindar tax system and its exploitation by the British. The movie was nominated for a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 2002).

The British Raj adapted the methods of lathi operation already in place thanks to the Zamindar System into the "lathi charge" – a coordinated military-style rush designed to disperse crowds. India's riot police still rely on the lathi charge as their primary weapon, although it's become a very controversial practice since it often leaves protesters permanently crippled. Because of this controversy, as of June 2013, the lathi is being phased out of many police units. Delhi police announced that the lathi would be replaced by a plastic baton "that will hurt less when it comes into contact with the human body."

Fighting with lathi sticks has long been considered a sport, although its popularity is waning. Every three years a nationwide convention is held in Kushtia, Bangladesh, having been changed from an annual competition after 1989 due to a drop in participants and audience. It remains more popular in rural communities, and displays of lathi expertise are sometimes seen at festivals and weddings.

The lathi is also employed in a spiritual practice. The continuous and repetitive movement is said to calm the mind and move energy throughout the body to balance it.

For Indians, probably the most searing image of a lathi in use is that wielded by Mahatma Gandhi. In his spirit of non-violence, he used the lathi as a walking stick, not as a weapon. The image of Gandhi wielding the lathi during the Dandi march to protest the taxation of salt by the British Raj, is an iconic one and the march itself galvanized the Satyagraha (civil disobedience) movement that ultimately was a key force in India's independence movement.
