Since time being history is studied from various approaches and point of views, In general Indian history is mainly written from the point of views of Marxist and nationalist historians, In the bright light of these views, there are various sections of societies, families, individuals etc whose contribution in Indian history went unnoticed. Here comes the role of subaltern approach which tried to fill this gape by studying the history of masses, With its limitations it also failed to holistically cover the contribution of all heros of history in nation building. The Barhath family from Shahpura, rajasthan is also such an example whose unparallel contribution in the struggle for Indian independence from mighty British empire is per say missing from mainstream history writing, Today we are enjoying freedom, talking about fundamental rights and constitutionalism but if we pause a little and reflect back in time we will soon realise that this could have not been possible without the sacrifices made by our freedom struggle heros, revolutionaries and politicians, The need to remember their sacrifices is of paramount importance but mainstream history writing is unable to give right place to some of these revolutionaries who sacrificed their whole family in the Yajna of indian independence. The Barhath family originally from Shahpura Bhilawara, Rajasthan were the Jagirdar of the Riyasat and enjoying all the luxuries of the time, Thakur Kesari Singh barhath’s father shri Krishna Singh Barhath was a close aid of Maharana of Mewar. Kesari Singh himself served high positions in the state of Mewar and he was among the main advisors of Maharana Fateh Singh, He also served as the president of ethnography department of the state of Kota, Kesari singh’ s grit for freedom, swaraj, swadesh, swadharm was such that he sacrificed all these for his values, Kesari singh, his brother Jorawar Singh Barhath, his son Pratapsingh barhath and son in law ishwardan aashiya all participated in revolutionary activities against British rule, Kesari Singh was pioneer in organising revolutionary movement in rajputana, He established organisation like Veer Bharat Sabha on the lines of Abhinav Bharat, He propagated ideas of independence through journals like Rajasthan Kesari and strengthen the rovolutianary activities in rajasthan with Arjunlal Sethi, Ramnarayan Chaudhary, Rao Gopal Singh kharva etc, Kesari Singh was also engaged in social reforms, He was a highly intellectual person with high degree of literary, political and economic understanding, His economic views exposed the exploitative nature of British rule which reflects from his words –

“People are machines to print money and government is a tool to acquire that money”
