The 2018 film ‘KGF’, considered the biggest Kannada film of the year, is nothing compared to the real story of Kolar Gold Fields.

Lt Warren's quest for Kolar gold began in 1799, after former emperor Tipu Sultan was defeated by the British in the battle of Srirangapatnam. The British decided to give Tipu land in Mysore, but this land needed to be explored. Warren, then a member of his Grandfather's 33-member team, was summoned to Kolar to care for his duties.

During the Chola regime, Warren had heard rumors about gold palaces and legends of people digging for gold with their own hands. He has announced the prize for anyone who can show him the gold ring, impressed by the rumors. Shortly thereafter, the farmers appeared before him, with their chariots covered in mud, washing them in front of the chief to sort out the gold powder.

"Should we continue to believe that gold exists only in a small space?" Why can't the gold mines in Maarikuppam move forward? ”He wondered.

Numerous studies of regional gold mines were conducted between 1804 and 1860, but all failed. Underground mining was illegal in 1959 after some exploration in the historic mines led to accidents.

In 1873, he wrote to the Maharaja's government, requesting a mining license after more than two years of research. Government officials only allowed him to dig for coal as they believed gold testing was not possible, but Lavelle insisted on getting gold deposits.

"If I succeed in my work, it will be a great benefit to the country; if I fail, the country will not lose anything as its end," he wrote in a letter to the Mysore and Coorg commissions. On February 2, 1875, Lavelle won a 20-year mining contract in Kolar, marking the beginning of the modern mining era in India.

Angelic investors and modern technology

However, in 1877, a young businessman was unable to expand his business and needed immediate financial growth. However, another army, Maj Gen Beresford of the Madras staff team in Bangalore, came out to support him because of his popularity. He formed a syndicate with three others: McKenzie, Sir William, and Col William Arbuthnot.

In order to continue exploration, mining engineers from all over the world were invited to dig holes in the Kolar. Things changed, however, when the syndicate partnered with John Taylor and Sons, a business that brought high-quality mining engineering to India, under pressure from its investors. The KGF gold era began with the arrival of these engineers from Norwich, England.

India's first power plant

The British have formed the second Asian and first Indian power station in Kolar as KGF operations continue. In 1900, Royal Engineers consulted Maharaja of Mysore on a plan to establish a hydroelectric power station on the Cauvery River. The 148-kilometer power line and cable were built by Central Electric Company of New York and Eicher Wyss of Switzerland. Elephants and horses transport tools from the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany.

Next Hell and Little England

Kolar was known as the 'Little England' by British engineers and others from around the world. KGF was a great place to stay because of the weather, bungalows, and clubs. Life at KGF was strongly influenced by English culture because of its status as a British mining colony.

This is in stark contrast to the 'cool lines,' the developed settlements inhabited by miners, most of whom were Tamil immigrants. Life, on the other hand, was relatively simple, with many families living close by. It has been known to attack rats annually, with workers killing nearly 50,000 rats. Workplaces are no different. Despite the constant supply of fresh air to the canals, the tunnel temperature reached 55 degrees Celsius and accidents were common.

At the end of the season

Foreigners began to move to Kolar as gold deposits in the KGF began to decline, although critical vacancies were maintained by the British until independence. When the coalition government decided to take over certain mines in 1956, most of them had previously been handed over to the provinces. 

Outside of the English, many English in the ruling elite began to leave the nation in search of a prosperous pasture. Some European miners have moved to the gold mines of Ghana and West Africa.

As a result, even if KGF still has gold in its stomach, the cost of replacing it can be much higher than the value of gold.

10/10 Yellow fever

This disease is now uncommon, but it was the most feared disease in the world from 1600 to 1900.It is caused by viruses and spread by mosquitoes. People suffer from high headaches, fevers, and nasty muscle pain, and it is almost impossible for anyone to bear such pain. Jaundice is one of the symptoms of this disease in which the body turns yellow. 

The person suffering from this dies within 8–10 days. From 1694 to 1855, this contagion spread like wildfire in the USA's Boston, Philadelphia, and Norfolk, and several people died. In 1878, 1,20,00 people got infected again and 20,000 of them died. Although there is a vaccine for this, a few attacks still occur in some African countries.

9/10 Smallpox in Japan

It is caused by the Variola virus. Fever, rashes, and vomiting afflict the victim. The person also has horrible tongue and throat ulcers. It had a 30% fatality rate. In 735, the plague erupted in a horrific form in Japan's Kyushu, killing a million people in just two years. The Japanese are still traumatized by the incident, and this disease is seen as a divine curse.

8/10 Hong Kong Fever

The H3N2 virus is the cause of this flu. It's also a form of influenza that causes coughs, colds, and mild fevers, but 40 million people died from it between 1968 and 1970. The reason for the high number of deaths was a virus mutation.

7/10 antonine plague

The Plague, Commonly Known As The Black Death, Is One Of The World's Oldest Pandemics. It Is Propagated By Rats And Is Induced By A Bacteria Called Pasteurella Pestis. There Is A High, Increasing Temperature, Swollen Lymph Nodes (Known As Buboes), And Blood Starts To Pour From These And Later Turn Black. Even The Roman Empire Was Hit By The Pandemic, Which Is Thought To Be One Of The Reasons For Its Decline. It Assassinated Two Emperors And Destroyed 10% Of The Empire's Population.

6/10 Third Plague

From 1855 until 1969, this epidemic lasted 104 years! The plague invaded all continents for the first time. It wreaked havoc in many parts of the globe. Hong Kong 1894, Mumbai 1896, Sydney 1900, and Lost Angels (1924) are only a few examples. The death toll is the most frightening aspect. Twelve million individuals died throughout this time frame. At that time, containment zones were created in the same way that they are now, but they were not effective in preventing incursions.

5/10 HIV-AIDS

4/10 Justinian's Plague

3/10 Spanish Flu

This pandemic began in 1918, following the end of World War I. It was a crushing blow to the general population, who were recovering from the war's aftermath. This flu was spread by soldiers returning from war. It was also an influenza strain. In a very short period, this pandemic engulfed the entire planet and claimed the lives of 50 million people.

2/10 Smallpox

The plague's wrath was so great at the time that it was stated that those who caught it early were lucky, and those who survived saw hell form around them. After all, who wants to witness people's rotting bodies? The pandemic took nearly one-third of Europe's population during this period. However, the truth is unknown. This pandemic lasted four years, and in London alone, 100,000 people perished as a result.

1/10 Bubonic Plague

After circulating in Japan in the 7th century, this epidemic wreaked havoc in Mexico in 1520, causing massive destruction. The Tenochtitlan empress governed Mexico at the time, and every person in the empire died solely as a result of this epidemic. Until vaccines were developed, 400 thousand people perished in Europe each year as a result of this.

"Greed blinds and fools a man, and makes him an easy target for destruction."

The captives who had been released post - civil war boarded the Sultana riverboat to return to their homes. Around 2:00 a.m. that night, an explosion occurred, followed by two more explosions, and the steamboat sank. This catastrophe claimed the lives of even more people than the Titanic disaster. Although this incident is not well-known, it was tragic enough to startle you.

The civil war has come to an end, and peace has returned. Soldiers who'd been imprisoned as war prisoners were being freed. The US government paid the ship captains $5 per soldier and $10 per officer to return them to their respective zones. Many captains showed interest in the deal, but one of them crossed all the limits of greed. . Captain James Mason, the captain of the Sultana steamboat, developed for the Mississippi cotton trade. It weighed 1719 tonnes and was 260 feet in length. It sailed for over two years from St. Louis to New Orleans.

When the captain heard about the deal, he was delighted.  the value of the $5 was equal to $150 of today., As a result, the captain agreed to the offer. A mechanic informed him that one of the boilers had a problem and required immediate repair, but the captain was unwilling to invest his time and money. The first blunder was the mechanic's temporary patch for the boiler. The second was to overload the vessel. As we all know, it was a commercial ship with a capacity of only 376 people, but due to the captain's selfishness, 2137 people sat in this boat. When government officials questioned him about the same he bribed them for profit.

Sultana was on her way to its destination on April 24, 1865, with 1907 war prisoners, 22 guards, 70 cabin passengers, and 85 crew members. The captives were hopeful that the boat would carry them home. The boat arrived in Memphis port at 7 p.m., when it unloaded 120 tonnes of sugar and 200 passengers.  These 200 were the lucky ones as The dance of death was just about to begin. Sultana has been travelling for two days on the Mississippi River through a terrible storm.

On April 27, 1865, at around 2 a.m., the temporary boiler exploded, killing 100 persons on the spot! After then, the other two boilers blew up at the same time, killing the ship's pilots. Most of them were set on fire and burnt to death. Some of them jumped into the water, but the most of them drowned, with only a few being rescued by the rescue squad. This catastrophe claimed the lives of 1547 people, however the exact number is uncertain. The most perplexing aspect is that the captain's body is still to be discovered.

The Titanic had a total of 1517 passengers and crew members. Soldiers who were looking forward to returning home had to bid farewell to this world for one reason only because of one man's greed.

Comment your ideas for next blog!

 Would you believe me if I tell you that there was a man which used to fight with a bow and arrow during the WW1, not only did he fight but captivated 12 people? All this sounds absurd, but this man was real and was a total crazy. Using bow and arrow instead of guns, riding a bike for thousands of km crossing different countries despite the road unavailability and such craziness for a war that if a war is not going on in his own country, then moving to different counties to fight in a war. That's how weird was John Churchill.

Born on 16 September 1906, John Churchill from the very start used to get bored quickly and always looked to do something interesting. When he newly joined the army, he used to carry an umbrella for his training on rainy days. No soldier may carry an umbrella in their training despite how much it's raining. As a result, he got scolded by his senior officers, but don't you dare to assume that he was a coward because the craziness and courage which he had might not be there in anyone. He was named Mad Jack or Fighting Jack for nothing. He always needed some excitement in his life. When the world was at peace between WW1 and d WW2, he traveled 7000 km from India to satisfy when there were not even proper roads in the country. But it didn't satisfy him and he played bagpipe, not only did he play the instrument but achieved such excellence that he even secured the 2nd position in a bagpiper competition. Later, this adventurous man become passionate about archery and even started representing England in international tournaments. Though crazy, he was truly a daredevil. 

He might be the only person who was happy when France declared war against Germany after joining hands with Britain, but things didn't go the way he had expected. A saw new ray of hope arose when USSR attacked Finland as he wanted to fight only for an adrenalin rush! He wanted to fight the war but was called back as the German army attacked his country. He gathered a team and attacked the enemy with no plan. While other soldiers were using guns, he was slaughtering the enemies with his sword and bow, and arrow.

In 1943, when he had to defat German soldiers along with the Americans and Germany had highly advanced weapons. Even though the circumstances were against him, he was successful. He attacked the soldiers in the evening or night when the soldiers were tired. One night he exceeded all the limits when he located several German camps and captivated the German soldiers at the tip of his sword and captured over 50 soldiers only in one night! Even he was captured by the enemy after a few months, but somehow escaped along with his six other companions.

He was probably the only person who was sad when WW2 ended. After his retirement, he worked as a teacher in many army schools. Several attempts were made to kill him, but no one could ever lay even a scratch on him and he died naturally in 1996.

Sniper is not who hits his target, a true sniper is one hits the target and no one can tell from where the target got hit. Today I’ll tell about an American Sniper who was equal to a whole army. Carlos Hathcock, who is also famous as the “White Feather”. He could move at a speed of 12inches/ hr only. He moved so slowly that even creatures around him could not sense his presence.

Carlos was born in the USA on 20 May 1942 and he grew up listening to the valours of US Marine. This was the reason he wanted to become a marine. Because of his exceptional talent, he won the national shooting championship and joined the Marine at the young age of 17. In 1979, USA president Johnson sent him to Vietnam as a military policeman.

He used to shoot his targets at sunrise and sunset only as he believed soldiers were not very active early morning and by the end of the day; they get tired. This way, he shot down many of the wanted soldiers. He always had a white feather on his helmet, after which he got the title of the famous White Feather. He became so well known that he even started teaching his skills to other soldiers. But his actual test was yet to come. 

A normal soldier would have hidden behind trees and moved further, but Carlos was different. He knew that even if he shot the general, then the soldiers would search him behind the trees, so he crawled to move ahead. Carlo covered his entire body with a grass cloak while only carrying water and shooting equipment. He was moving ahead with no sleep and food for four consecutive days. After he reached the general, wasting no time, he shot him dead, and as he had thought, soldiers started searching for the sniper behind the trees, but Carlos was lying on the ground. He returned the same way as he had reached there, crawling slowly under the enemy's nose.

THE APACHE SNIPER (LAST TWO)

It's said that Carlos killed 300 soldiers as a sniper. Some of his famous kills were famous snipers like Apache and Cobra sniper. After so many achievements, he retired and started a sniping center and started training others.  Finally, on 22 February 1999, this brave sniper of America took his last breath, but his legacy still lives on.

It's an extremely normal conviction that ladies are a sign of affection, care, and humbleness. They are for the most part known to be exceptionally polite, graceful, and poised. But actually, history is brimming with such ladies that truly changed the perspective about ladies. There were overtimes numerous ladies whose horrors horrified the whole world. Many evil women enjoyed torture, brutality, murders, and abuse for one reason or the other. We always tend to focus on the evil men in the world and forget some of the truly evil women that have lived.

1) MARY I: BLOODY MARY

Queen Mary I of England ruled as Queen of England for a short five years (r.1553-1558), the main ruling queen since the twelfth century. Most historians believe her reign to be unfruitful as she was unable to fulfill her dream about returning England to the Roman Catholic Church. She additionally never had any offspring of her own to proceed with her dynasty in England. Her international strategies met with disappointment too.

Mary became queen only after a group of Protestant aristocrats attempted to put Lady Jane Gray, or r the "nine-day queen," on the throne. Mary's overwhelming support by the powerful averted a serious civil war. Only a handful of executions followed, including Lady Jane.           

2) ELIZABETH BATHORY: COUNTESS DRACULA

Hungarian noblewoman Elizabeth Bathory is considered the most infamous women serial killer of history. Even her name is at the top spot in the rundown of women serial killers of Guinness world records. She put 650 young girls to sleep forever from 1500-1610! 

She was born in Hungary's popular Bathory family. It's said that she preyed on young peasant girls. She tormented them by thrashing them and breaking their bones before killing them. Her husband even gifted her a torture chamber in her palace. Countess Bathory fostered a craving for human flesh. She would take little nibbles here and there off of her victims while they were still alive. It's supposed she once constrained one of her victims to cook and eat a piece of themselves.   

3) AMELIA DYER : THE READING BABY FARMER

Amelia Dyer, this lady didn't chase men or ladies but instead small kids. Abelia Dyer was born during the Victorian period in 1836 in Bristle, England. She was a trained medical attendant who began baby farming after she had been widowed in 1869. 

Bringing up illegitimate offspring of individuals is called baby farming. Individuals likewise paid her decent cash for dealing with such youngsters. She murdered more than 400 youngsters without hesitating for 30 years! In 1896 when a child's body was found in the river Thanes she was captured and after the trial, she was hanged up on 10 June 1896.

4)KARLA HOMOLKA : THE KEN AND BARBIE KILLER

Karla Homolka was born on 4 May 1970 in Ontario, Canada. She killed three young girls along with her husband Paul Bernardo. What was stunning about this, was that one of the girls was Karla's own younger sister. This couple committed these homicides between 1990-1992, after that the two of them were captured in 1993. During interrogation, she continued to tell that her husband used to beat her and she went along with him in these killings since he constrained her to do so. Police came to believe her lies and signed a deal with her which expressed that she would testify against her husband and consequently court will decrease her sentence. 

Paul was sentenced to life imprisonment and Karla 12 years. It was revealed that Karla was not forced by her husband and was lying about the matter when the police found a video recording of their wrongdoing. 

Be that as it may, it was past time to break the deal and she left jail in 2005 and right now is living peacefully in Quebec. That arrangement of Karla was named ' The Deal with the Devil' by the Canadian press.

5) AILEEN WUORNOS : DAMSEL OF DEATH

7) MYRA HINDLEY : MOORS MURDERER

Myra Hindley is viewed as the evilest lady in British history. Alongside her partner Ian Brady, she completed the Moors murders during the 1960s. Together, they kidnapped, physically tormented, and killed five children and teens.

At the point when they were caught, Hindley showed no lament for her crimes and argued not guilty. For a considerable length of time, she kept up with her innocence; in any case, in 1987, she at long last conceded that she had been engaged with each of the five killings. In 2002, she died in jail.
