Been seeing a lot of discussions about the history of ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ police forces (like ๐Ÿ‘‡) but what hasn't been mentioned so far are their connections to the revolutionary Katipunan. Some surrendered Katipunan officers were absorbed in the colonial policing apparatus 1/11

The 2 examples I know are Licerio Geronimo and Juan Cailles. *I wouldn't know these if I hadn't done research for my chapter in this book here: 2/11
Gen. Licerio Geronimo is credited w/ the death of Major Gen. Henry Lawton, the highest ranking American officer to be killed in the Philippine-American War, during the Battle of San Mateo. But after surrendering in 1901 he joined the PC & was instrumental in the defeat ... 3/11
...of his former comrades, most notably Gen. Luciano San Miguel, a veteran of the 1896 revolution who continued to battle the Americans until his death in 1903. He had been routed by Geronimo's troops but San Miguel preferred to die on the battlefield than be taken alive. 4/11
Juan Cailles, like Geronimo, was a Katipunan commander who surrendered to the Americans in 1901. He was then appointed governor of Laguna and enjoyed several years of being a local politician. But in the 1930s, in the midst of landlessness and social unrest... 5/11
...and organized resistance under various formations such as the Sakdalistas, the Katipunan ng Anakpawis, the Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas, & even "millenarian" peasant groups, Cailles responded with an iron fist, on behalf of the Americans & in cooperation with the PC... 6/11
His claim to fame was the killing of resistance leader Teodoro Asedillo, who had been mischaracterized as an ordinary "bandit" and whose corpse was publicly displayed as a warning against quarreling with the state. 7/11
I can't remember if there are any more examples, I don't have a copy of our book with me. These are all off of the top of my head! I apologise for any errors. 8/11
I guess if there is something this can add is that, yes these are indeed colonial institutions but we must also take a hard look at the complicity of former "patriots". 9/11
For money? For privileges like a govt position? Because they were members of the elite and had narrow self-interest? I don't know. They were tired of fighting? They really thought that joining the (colonial) govt was the only viable option left? All of the above? Maybe. 10/11
These are the historical episodes that we need to keep mining, and mulling over to perhaps help us make sense of these unimaginable yet all-too-familiar times. 11/11

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttฤnapฤda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
