Nana Farari (dacoit)
Nana Farari was a revolutionary (later labelled as Dacoit) from Maharashtra who fought against the British rule in India during Indian independence movement 1947. Nana Ferrari was born in a Koli family of Maharashtra and even today stories of Nana Ferrari can be heard in Dharampur, Surgana and Peth towns of Maharashtra.[1]
Even after the India became independent in 1947, Nana Farari continued his rebellion. Nana Farari took up arms against hoarding and malsaji, due to which in October 1947, Nana Farrari had cut off the nose and ears of the people from Vania, Parsi and Teli communities, due to which the Bombay State (present days Maharashtra) government declared Nana Farari as a dacoit despite revolutionary status.[2]
For several months, Bombay state Police used to search Nana in Nashik and Trimbak to catch Nana Farari[3] and one day Nana Ferrari was killed in an encounter in Toragaon.[4]
