Bundelkhand "A glorious past and anonimous Present "

I am sure that every body would have heard these lines

"सिंघासन हिल उठे राजवंशो ने भ्रकुटी तानी थी!
फ़िर बूढे भारत में आई नई जवानी थी!
गुमी हुई आजादी की कीमत सबने पहचानी थी!
दूर फिरंगी को कराने की सबने मन में ठानी थी!
चमक उठी सन सत्तावन की वह तलवार पुराणी थी!
बुंदेले हर बोलो के मुंह हमने सुनी कहानी थी!
खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वो to झाँसी वाली रानी थी!!......."
But doubt how many have heard of Bundelkand.

Every single Bundelkhandi must be feeling proud after listening to or on reading these lines. Trust me I really feel very proud from inner of my heart.
These lines always reminds me that our past was very glorious and thus we can make our future glorious atleast we have right to think that.
Today Bundelkhand (Khand--means part) is the poorest part of uttar predesh and thus India. I am surprise that how a prosperous part of land(Khand) in past is the poor and backward today?
Only one thing responsible for this Ignorance.
Some fact about Bundelkhand.....

The Major cities of Bundelkhand are Jhansi, Datia, Lalitpur, Sagar, Damoh, Orai, Panna, Mahoba, Banda Narsinghpur and Chhatarpur, If you see Map of INDIA, It is heart of that.
Being surrounded by rivers like Sindh, Betwa , Kane and Godawari its economy was/is fully dependent on agriculture and was once well developed and prosperous as its river were serving it well. Some Drought and some ignorance form government broke back bone of its Economy. And compel it to become one of the poorest part of India.

Let me tell you that if government would have taken care of This part it could have contributed lots in the development of country.
Let me put some point to justify it.............

Please read next post for that....
