Amar Shaheed Lothoo Jat(अमर शहीद लोटू जाट)

Mansukh Ranwa is the first author who has first time published history of freedom fighter Lothoo in the form of a book- “Amar Shaheed Lothoo Jat’’ (अमर शहीद लोटू जाट) in Hindi in year 2000. Otherwise it was only through the Bhopas that folk songs of Lothoo were sung in Rajasthan. Most of the facts about Lothoo were known to only local public from the ‘phad’, which Bhopa community read loudly in public places as folk songs with the story depicted on canvas. The role of Lothoo has not been properly assessed in the history of first freedom movement of India. The efforts of Mansukh Ranwa in writing a research book on such a great freedom fighter, whose history and achievements were lost in the dark, are worth praising. Dr Gyan Prakash Pilania has written forward of this book.
