@LeviRietveld I am totally unable to understand why this much of hype for XRP RL USD is being used through ethereum network in Japan. No clarity act passed. If the price is to go up why only rumours and no realty. Be extra cautious XRP might be a scam.
Why is this patriot missing from the pages of our history?
Seth Ramdas Gudwala was one of the greatest financiers and revolutionaries of the 1857 War of Independence, yet his name remains largely forgotten.
Born into a wealthy Agarwal family in Delhi, Ramdas Gudwala was among the richest men in North India. A prominent banker and businessman, his wealth was the subject of popular legends. It was said that he possessed immense treasures of gold, silver, pearls, and diamonds.
When the flames of revolution reached Delhi in 1857, thousands of Indian soldiers gathered to fight the British. However, feeding, clothing, and paying such a force became a major challenge.
At this critical moment, Seth Ramdas Gudwala stepped forward.
He placed his enormous fortune at the service of the nation, providing food, clothing, grain, animals, supplies, and financial support for the revolutionary forces. He also helped organize intelligence networks and communication channels across North India, connecting revolutionaries, rulers, and military camps.
His activities became a nightmare for the British administration.
Determined to crush the resistance, the British eventually recaptured Delhi. Seth Ramdas Gudwala was arrested and subjected to unimaginable brutality.
According to accounts, he was tied to a post and attacked by hunting dogs before being publicly executed in Chandni Chowk as a warning to others.
Historian Tara Chand, in his work History of the Freedom Movement, described Seth Ramdas Gudwala as one of the wealthiest men in North India, whose vast resources were dedicated to the cause of freedom.
Yet today, few Indians know his name.
The story of Seth Ramdas Gudwala reminds us that Indiaโs freedom struggle was not fought only by soldiers on the battlefield, but also by courageous patriots who sacrificed their wealth, influence, and ultimately their lives for the motherland.
How many more such forgotten heroes are still waiting to be remembered?

๐ง Historical Note
This follows the popular interpretation of Angus Maddison's historical GDP estimates, where India was often the world's largest economy for much of ancient and medieval history, China overtook in the 18th century, Britain led during the Industrial Revolution, and the United States became dominant in the 20th century.
