Jayee Rajguru - First martyr against British rule in India



Jayakrushna Rajguru Mohapatra (29 October 1739 – 6 December 1806) popularly known as 'Jayee Rajguru' was born in Puri District of Odisha .He was the Royal Priest, Commander-in-Chief of the king of Khurda, Gajapati Mukundadev-II. He was the first martyr of India against the British.
After occupying andhra from Nizam of hyderabad British wanted to capture khurda(in odisha) for for purpose of transportation between this region and midnapur(WB).The District Magistrate of Ganjam Col. Harcourt made an agreement with the king of Khurda for the communication of Ganjam and midnapur. It was agreed that the British would pay one lakh Rupees (₹ 1, 00,000) towards compensation to the king and to return the four Praganas which were under the control of the Marathas . But, they cheated in both the ways.
Filled with rage Jayee Rajguru arranged his army and occupied the four Praganas on his own . But, the British tried to capture Khurda by force. As a result the King of Khurda was deprived of the traditional rights of Jagannath Temple which was a serious shock to the  people of Odisha. Consequently in October 1804 a group of armed Paiks attacked the British at Pipili. 




Finally, the historical fight occurred between the military of Khurda and the Britishers. Fight continued for a long period and Jayee Rajguru was arrested . He made his all out effort to keep his king safe but finally, Mukunda Dev-II was arrested in 3 January 1805. Then Jayee Rajguru and the King were sent to Midnapore Jail.Jayee Rajguru was declared guilt for waging a war "against the lawfully established Govt. of the land". He was ordered to be hanged till death; but was killed on 6 December 1806 in a procedure in which executioners tied his legs to the opposite branches of a tree and left the branches.His body got teared into two pieces.

The Paika rebellion was the first struggle for freedom against British.
