8. SPIRIT IN CHAINS

Stories from the Raj usually focus on how the British empire exploited the people of the sub-continent. But some stories look into the oppression of trees! Why were banyan trees in places as far off from each other as Pakistan and Kerala kept in chains during those times? Why have people still not removed those chains so long after independence? Do the chains actually hold back something… supernatural?

It is not intended to outrage insult, defame or hurt any religion or religious sentiments, beliefs feelings of any person, entity, class or community and does not encourage or propagate any superstition black magic and all witchcraft. listeners should exercise their discretion. oppressed, exploited, chained this was South Asia during British colonial rule. After the subcontinent had thrown off its chains, many horror stories began to emerge from this era. Most of them focus on how the iron rule of the British Empire affected the ordinary people of this land. But some stories look into the oppression of trees. Once that story is about a British officer who ordered the arrest of a banyan tree. The other story isn't about the tree itself, but an angry spirit that remains chained to it. This is rumors? I am Chandra Das. Join me as I shine a light on the darkest corners of India, where facts and fiction combine into magical and haunting stories. Tourists love Kerala it's coconut trees, sandy beaches, backwaters and greenery attract millions of visitors every year. But Kerala also holds bragging rights to some of the most beautiful hill stations in India. And where there is a hill station, there's always a cool story to be found. Carolina's most stunning Hill stations are in y&r district, where altitudes range from a comfortable 700 meters to a design 2100 meters. National Highway 766 connects quarry code to y&r. The scenic route goes through the camera Surrey mountain paths known to the locals as Tamara Surrey surah. Camera city surah is known for its panoramic views. A permanent shroud of mist covers the green forests, giving the place a mystical aura. At each of the surrounds nine hairpin bends, you feel the desire to stop the car and standstill. Eyes feasting upon the view. The mountain peaks seem to glare right into your soul, and the valley below beckons you to destruction. At the end of this precarious 14 Kilometer Mountain Pass is the lucky review point. Right before the viewpoint. There's a strange banyan tree next to a little shrine. They attract such little attention from a distance that the average traveler would miss them altogether. A little pointer for those who do wish to find this tree. It's right opposite the pepper y&r Gate Hotel. So why is this nondescript old tree so special. This 25 feet tall, fully grown Banyan is the chain tree of Lucky li the tree is named for a steel chain that hangs upon it from a tall branch. Local say that the chain has been there, wrapped around the tree for more than 100 years. While no written records corroborate this, it looks obvious that the chain has been there long enough to sink deep into the tree's trunk. According to rumors, this chain has a purpose to bind the human soul to the banyan tree and the soul that's been bound for eternity is that of tribal chieftain, named Corinthian then move on. To no current and then and the chain tree story We must go back to 18th century by an ad. At the time, why not was quietly ruled by the posse Rogers of the Kottayam royal dynasty. But Trouble was brewing in the neighborhood. People Sultan of Mysore, attacked the neighboring kingdom of Travancore, which was a British East India Company ally. The company forces defeated people and he was forced to hand over the Malabar region to the British in 1792, which was fine, but the British extended their claim to via not saying it was also part of the Mysore kingdom. People argued back saying why not wasn't his, but belonged to the posse Raja. This was the setup for a series of fierce battles between the East India Company and the buzzy Raja. Driven to the mountainous wilderness of y&r. The Raja organize the local culture tribals into people's militia. They occupied the company army with guerrilla warfare tactics for over a decade. But in the end, the East India Company forces figured out the rajas hiding place in the forest. According to local folklore, when faced with Capture, the puzzle Z Raja swallowed a diamond ring and committed suicide. British records however, say that he was killed by a clerk named Canora Menon. I the way why an art fell into the hands of the East India Company in 18 105. With profit in mind as usual, the company opened the plateau for the cultivation of cash crops. European investors and traders had long had their eye on wire knots fertile black soil, and high annual rainfall. The forest would be destroyed and the land was to be cultivated. There will now be a surplus of Malabar pepper, spices, tea and coffee to sell. But for the wealth of y&r to be unlocked, the company had to overcome a huge roadblock, quite literally. They had identified tracts of land and had begun to establish a few plantations. But the area had few developed roads that could transport produce from these plantations. horse carriages were forced to take a long route to reach quarry code, and then onto the paper port to load chips. This took too much time, and therefore money. Surely there had to be a shorter route between y&r and paper. The Viceroy of Madras made a public announcement to solve the problem. Whoever could find that elusive shorter way to transport spice and cash crops would be given a handsome reward. Legend says that after this announcement, a few locals approached the East India Company officials with a solution to the transport problems. The new people who had years of experience in navigating these tricky paths through the mountain forests, and could help the British find that uses shorter path. These people were the local forest dwelling punya tribals, and the most agile knowledgeable guide among them was their chief current and then the British approached him and asked for his guidance. Corinthian then was all too happy to help. And it wasn't because the viceroy had promised a hefty reward. He had no clue about the money. Current panel's decision to help us motivated by a sense of mutual respect. He felt well treated by the British, which was the opposite of how the plains people viewed him, a tribal man of the forest. Corinthian then guided the British engineer tasked with the road project through the forest path. He showed him the exact route that later became the Tamara Surrey Surah with nine hairpin bends. The British were amazed by current London's agility and fearlessness in traversing the same forest that they had been too scared to enter. Soon, they began constructing a road but for all his head. It wasn't gratitude that awaited current angle. The British engineer he had guided through the forest wanted to claim the credit for discovering the route and the viceroys reward. He hatched a plan to achieve this. One evening, he invited Corinthian then to take a walk with Him. Lured by friendly conversation and companionship, the tribal chief was led to the top of the hill there. As the setting sun plunged the Valley into darkness, the British engineer put a bullet into the back of his head. The engineer then disposed of current London's lifeless body, by throwing it from the top of the mountain. The mountain slopes of y&r may be treacherous, but the people who had conquered it were more so. The road work for the mountain paths was soon completed. And over the next few years, the British developed more roads through the forests of Wayanad. They began exploiting the resources of the area and reaped enormous profits. Through these roads, settlers from all parts of Kerala poured in meanwhile, the forest dwelling punya tribes trajectory, followed the opposite direction. After losing their chief, they scattered and moved to other parts of the district. A grave tragedy had occurred, and not justice had been done. But 100 years later, karma came full circle. Traders and travelers began reporting strange events and experiences on the Tamara series from between 1890 and 1900. Tamara Surrey sorum witnessed an unusually high number of accidents, carriages and cars would overturn on the hairpin bends. Some vehicles would even fall off the cliff into the oblivion of the valley below. The passengers who survived became sure of one thing, and it wasn't rampant drunk driving something on the CERAM was spooking the horses, donkeys and the drivers. And whatever it was, it didn't spare those traveling by foot either. People would see a shadow standing on the roadside. Many heard a voice speaking and the laughter that followed it, cheering them to the bone. Whoever traversed the path landed in trouble, either on the surah itself, or later, people became scared to travel on that road, even in daylight. And it wasn't wild animals they were afraid of. They had a suspect who they believed was causing all the trouble. It was the wandering spirit of Corinthian then. The traders and local people of the area banded together and call the priest locally known as a mantra body. The priest visited the serum and assess the situation. He declared that their suspicions of supernatural activity had been correct all along. Current London Spirit was indeed haunting the Tamra serie CERAM. He demanded justice. He wanted revenge. The locals and traders requested the priests to intervene. The dad may demand justice but the living needed safety. The priest agreed to perform an intense and difficult ritual. Through this ritual, he captured Corinthian soul. He chained it to a banyan tree near the top of the surah using a steel chain. After he was done, the priest uttered a last word of caution. The tree must never be cut and the chain never be taken down. If this happened, Corinthian then spirit would be set free once more to harass travelers on Tamara Surrey sorum. This banyan tree to which Corinthian then is chained now stands at luckily, over the years, the tree has been growing taller and taller. And unbelievably, the chain has also been growing with the tree. As more and more people came to know of his story, current London's reputation changed from a malevolent spirit to an unfortunate victim of the colonial machinery. The rapid addition of the tree transformed from a co strap to Memorial. At some point, a temple came up beside the chain tree known as the jungle Amara jangala translates to chain and muram stands for a tree. Others simply call it the current and then temple because the deity of this temple is none other than Adivasi chieftain current and then the chain tree and the temple receive a regular flow of visitors. A small tea shop sells tea soda and snacks to travelers who stopped by to pay their respects. Even truck drivers stop and pray here for a safe journey on the hilly terrain. Corinthian is now recognized as a venerated figure of the Pioneer community. an NGO called P organizes a walk in his memory on the second Sunday of March every year 1000s of people from the punya community from all parts of Kerala take part. The community has urged the Government of Kerala to install a statue of current London near the chain tree and rename this road as Corinthian then Memorial cart road. The statue has materialized, the renaming is yet to while the myth of Corinthian then has held as strong as the chains that bind the Banyan record supporting this lower arms pass. It is possible that the Tamara series serum was established in the late 1700s or early 1800s. It is also quite possible that the East India Company wanted an alternative route. As the guerrilla forces of the buzzy Raja were ambushing their regular roots. Or perhaps they thought of it after the capture of finance. Either way, this would have to place the story of Corinthians betrayal in the early 1800s. But oral versions of his story, and the board at his memorial say that Corinthians then lived between 17 117 50 days in the story 50 years before the conquest of y&r by the British. There's a discrepancy with the timing of the story, which exposes the flaws of keeping history going by word of mouth. Dates get twisted, and the legitimacy of what may really have happened gets exposed to questioning. While no one questions written records often created by the people in power. Current under Corinthians chain tree is not the only reminder of imperialist violence in South Asia. Yet another banyan tree in the subcontinent was chained up back in the 1890s and this one grows in Pakistan. In the Landi Kotal cantonment near Pakistan store comm border with Afghanistan. Visitors are bamboozled by a strange sight. A banyan tree stands bound in chains and manacles, apparently, to prevent it from moving. The tree has continued to bear the weight of its metal shackles for the last 120 years. Back in 1898, a British officer from the containment named James Scribd got very drunk one evening, he wandered out of the mess into the open area outside and there in front of him was a banyan tree as squid staggered drunkenly, the tree seemed to move with him for the alleged supernatural activity, didn't scare squid in deeply offended him. He ordered the mess sergeant to put the tree under arrest for the criminal act of daring to follow Him. Now, what happens when a drunken idiot in a position of power issues an absurd order? Well, the order gets implemented. The Banyan Tree was put under arrest and ever since then, it stands chained at the Lambie Koto containment aboard on the tree declares, I am under arrest. One fine evening, British officers after drinking heavily thought that I was moving from my original place. They ordered the mess sergeant to arrest me. Since then, I am under arrest. But that's not all. Look and see this utter act of absurdity by Britisher has a darker meaning. They say placing the banyan tree under arrest was a way of signaling a threat to the tribesmen of the region. Through this act, the British implied that if anyone dared to act against the Empire, the two would be punished and ended up bound in chains, exactly like the tree. After Pakistan became independent, the locals decided to not remove the chains. They kept the tree imprisoned to show coming generations how the British had treated the people of the subcontinent. Much like the chain tree of Pakistan, Corinthians chain tree is also a reminder. He may have once been a wandering spirit on the highway. But today his story reminds us how imperialism drained out resources from the subcontinent. The drain wasn't just of spices and material wealth. The British also appropriated local and indigenous knowledge for themselves, taking credit when none was due. Colonization is rarely peaceful, and development is hardly its only agenda. It is a violent process that leaves people dead in its weak, some of whom are never found, and thus forgotten. A rare few are remembered as heroes, but only if their secrets come to light. And Corinthian secret came to light because he demanded justice. Literally shouting at passers by from beyond the grave. The chains on Lucky's banyan tree continue to grow longer each year. Some visitors say they still hear current London's laughter while traversing the paths. Others shiver at the thought that the tribal chief may still be watching them from the shadows of the forests of Waianae.
