The reputation of Jugni has constantly touched the hearts of Panjabi
mentality. She grew to become a everlasting section in the Panjabi
folklore proper in view that the historical times. But who is Jugni?
Nobody ever tried to locate the veracity and due to the fact of it is
easy Jugni-stanzas and easy versification, educational pupils in no way
cared.
Jugni-poetry and Jugni-music took delivery a century in the past in 1906. Before that time, nowhere do we locate any point out of her in records or the people memory.
Jugni-poetry and Jugni-music was once created by way of two people singers and most in all likelihood its advent used to be accidental. These folks singers have been Bishna and Manda. They had been from Majha place and some thing I heard about them is as written below.
According to the late Pandit Diwan Singh, a resident of Khadur Sahib, Manda used to be a Muslim Mirasi. His village was once Hasanpur, Thana Vairowal in Amritsar District. His actual identify used to be Mohammad however he used to be famous with his identify Manda. Nobody is aware of whatever about his family.
Bishna used to be additionally from Majha and used to be from a Jatt family. Nobody knew about his history untill 1969 when used to be requested from a freedom fighter Baba Makhan Singh of village Dhathi Jaimal Singh, he informed that their levels have been viewed a couple of instances in Patti and Kasur. Their preferred subjects have been Mirza and Tappe however they invented Jugni in 1906.
Baba Makhan Singh informed that in 1906 when each of them have been youths, the Brtish added Jugni to India. When I requested that how British added Jugni and what used to be Jugni, Baba Ji's reply was once that English Queen's rule used to be over 50 years at that time. British dominated numerous components of the Planet Earth and they idea that they need to take a Torche to complete of their Empire. That flame of the Torche used to be itself Jugni which was once taken from town to town in each and every usa beneath British rule.
Baba Makhan Singh instructed that that flame used to be put in a massive gold utensil and used to be taken to the each and every headquater of the districts. Wherever Jugni used to be taken huge social gathering had been determined by way of the Govt. In all these suggests Bands, Police department, army, Zaildars,high officers and excessive society human beings visited. In these suggests Manda and Bishna additionally held their stage.
When Baba Makhan Singh used to be all explaining this, then a close by individual who appeared a bit extra educated, interupped that English did not carry Jugni-flame. In truth it was once Jubilee which illiterate Bishna and Manda stated as 'Jugni'.
From that gentleman's interruption all at once the thriller of the phrase 'Jugni' used to be located that the phrase 'Jugni' took delivery from the english phrase Jubilee. It is clear that in 1906 the Jubilee flame used to be taken in all places below the rule of Queen Victoria at her fiftieth anniversary on the throne.
This Jubilee flame was once taken to each essential metropolis and at the district headquaters celebrations and festivities took location underneath the costs of DC. On these festivals, Bishna Jatt and Manda Mirasi held their stage the place they sang their personal composed stanzas of Jugni with the instuments of Dhad and King. Because of the simplicity and effortless versification, these verses of Jugni grew to be so famous very quickly that many different human beings commenced versification of Jugni Verses.
Wherever we locate a 'Jugni-Verse' there we have to discover some city's, village's, and palce's name. Wherever Jubilee-flame of the English rulers went Bishna and Manda additionally went to these locations and put their small stage someplace close to the large fairs to perform. Their one unique 'Jugni-verse' is like this:
Jugni jaa varhi Majithe
koi Rann na Chakki peethe
Putt Gabhru mulak vich maare
rovan Akhiyan par Bulh si seete
Piir mereya oye Jugni ayi aa
ehnan kehrhi jot jagaee aa
This 'Jugni's poetic fashion and versification later grew to become a normal technique and began taking lots extra in it is clasp however the establishing of 'Jugni' constantly remained in some town or place:
Jugni jaa varhi Ludhiane
Uhnun pai ge Anne Kaane
Maarn mukkian mangan Daane
Piir Mereya Oye! Jugni kehndi aa
Jehrhi naam Ali da laindi aa
Manda and Bishna had been already used to take section in fesivals of Patti, Kasur, Ajnala and different cities of Majha region. Their Akhara or stage overall performance used to be famous. Manda used to play the instrument of Dhad and Bishna performed the King. Singing overall performance used to be constantly together. They once in a while had composed stanzas at proper whilst performing. If any person gave them a Rupee, they had composed a stanza linking the donor and his village's name.
'Jugni' Jubilee flame went from metropolis to metropolis and Bishna and Manda followed. Their recognition additionally rose to the awesome degree by means of time. In these days whilst the motion for freedom did not rose however in the thinking of the hundreds anger was once there. On many locations faminines spead and droughts came. Public used to be illiterate and the rulers have been cruel. So it was once certain that the ache and sufferings the public suffered got here in their stanzas.
The stanzas of English rule's criticism and their tyranny had been additionally composed. These new stanzas grew to be so famous in public that now the rulers may want to now not tolerate. Government started out banning Bishna and Manda's shows. Then Bishna and Manda commenced performing at some distance from the Jubilee fesivals however they gathered hugh crowds there too and many time police lathi-charged these gatherings. In these of their shows, humans commenced speaking frankly agaist the English rule on India and their atrocities, had been coming again whilst singing 'Jugni' in innovative manner.
Sorrowful End
From town to town 'Jugni' alais Jubilee went, Bishna and Manda followed, hugh crowed gathered. Anger in opposition to the English rule's opression rose, public received greater restless. In the identical manner when Jubilee features in the metropolis of Gujaranwala grew to become insipid towards the Bishna and Manda's stage, aggravated police arrested and tortured them each to death. It is stated that police buried them each in the center of night time in some unknown cemetry.
Canes of police had make them mum however their 'Jugni' is nonetheless there in each and every town and will stay in the hearts of the human beings of this sub-continent forever. It comes in thinking that some thing need to be completed in the reminiscence of these two omitted and forgotten martyrs, some monument must be made.'Jugni' itself is a incredible memorial of these two valuable artists in the hearts of million however the monuments in the honour of Victorian jubilee are there in V.J. Hospital ( Victoria Jubilee ) in Amritsar and Victoria Terminal in Bombay which remind us the cruelity which confronted generations and wiped the creaters of Jugni.
We do not discover any records about the household or siblings of this pair of singers. Neither of them acquired married in their lifestyles time. In 1906 each of them had been round the age of 50.
