How was the Kolar goldfield discovered?

In fact the Kolar gold field and India's first gold mine was discovered by the British as historians write!Not only Kolar gold field, but all gold mining and gold mining in India has been practiced since the Chola period! Mettalurgy, not just architecture, but also metallurgy, flourished in the Chola period.

Everything in India was invented by the British

We have an ignorance! "Everything in India was invented by the British and we didn't know any soil before that!" A campaign is happening in our Tamil Nadu!

Especially Karnataka, where today's Kolar is located, was once ruled by the Cholas! Only then did the place become a gold mine!

An attempt to forget the achievements of Indians especially the achievements of the Cholas in history is to claim that the British discovered it by naming it in English as KGF Kolar Gold mining!

Hatti gold mine in Karnataka is two thousand years old! From here the gold was sent to the Indus Valley region!

The story of the origin of the Kolar goldfields

 
In 1799, in an important battle between the British East India Company and Tippusultan, the British forces won the area where the Kolar goldfields are located!

Before giving that area to the Mysore kingdom, the British made a survey of the area with an English officer named Lieutenant Warren!

When Warren went to the area as a surveyor, some people told him that "gold is found in the lands around the Kolar region" and "the local people in the Chola period used to sift it with their bare hands"!

This is the starting point of the British Indian gold rush! You will wonder how man found gold in this place!

In the time of the primitive man, gold glittered like pebbles in a flowing river! The mesmerized man saw its beauty and started adding it!

Then he turned it into jewelry, then into money! The method of collecting gold nuggets that started like this slowly turned into the habit of searching and digging under the soil!!

At one point they took all the gold in the upper level! It was only after this that man was forced to dig underground!

Among them, the British invented electrical machines! Now let's get back to Officer Warren! Warren continued his search for gold a few years later, not in vain! Wrote it as a beautiful report! In the area called Kolar in India, he swore that if he digs 58 kg of soil, he will get a bomb of gold!

Now the hero entry of our original KGF movie! This real history of KGF and its hero Michael Fitzgerald Lavelle, Lavelle is more thrilling to hear than the Kannada movie KGF! Tell me, listen!

If Binny has written an English novel called Living Dangerously based on his gold hunting and the gambling of digging the earth for it, see for yourself how interesting his story will be!

The year is 1871! Lovel was a soldier and fought in New Zealand on behalf of the British and then retired and settled in the cantonment in Bangalore!
After retirement, like everyone else, the grandson started thinking about what to do next instead of spending time sitting and eating with his family, pampering his granddaughter! Because in the context of the war, Lovell read the gold report written by Warren! Everyone reads movie gossip, and reading about Namma Al Lavelo Gold seems entertaining!

Asami read the Warren report and straight away took a bullock cart and traveled to Kolar!

This is the cantonment bungalow where he stayed! Miners in dire straits on the side; Tamils stayed!

If the white man enslaves the Tamils, our Indian Dravidian politicians will not care much about it!
 
This is the mine he built then! Lovel got help from the Maharaja of Mysore and started digging a gold mine!

The amazing and very important thing is that it was for this gold mining that the first power station was built across the Cauvery River in Mysore! The railway line was laid!!

It's a pity that when they first built the power station to extract gold, there was no electricity anywhere else in the country and it didn't come!

Chennai has no electricity; Bangalore has no electricity; But only Kolar has arrived! This is how England brought progress to our India!

 For many years, gold was mined day and night, and the gold on the surface of the earth was depleted! The situation came that "only if you dig a good deep mine you will get some gold"!

The cost of mining gold was more than gold! In one way India got independence and the Kolar gold field was transferred to the central government!
