Villagers Dig Fields to Look for Gold after Watching Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Chhaava’ in MP
In a bizarre incident that has left officials and experts alike scratching their heads, villagers in Madhya Pradesh’s Burhanpur district have been digging fields at night, convinced that they will strike gold, all thanks to Vicky Kaushal’s recent movie ‘Chhaava’. The movie, which is a biographical drama based on the life of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, shows the emperor keeping his wealth at a fort in Burhanpur.
As per a recent report, a group of villagers in Burhanpur, who had watched the movie, became convinced that Aurangzeb had buried a treasure trove of gold coins near the Asirgarh Fort. Believing that the treasure was still hidden, they decided to take matters into their own hands and started digging the fields at night, armed with mobile flashlights and metal detectors.
A video that has gone viral on social media shows the villagers using their makeshift equipment to search for the elusive gold coins. The video, which has left many people in awe, shows the villagers using their mobile flashlights to scan the fields, hoping to strike gold.
However, their enthusiasm was short-lived, as officials soon stepped in to stop the excavation. The authorities, fearing that the villagers might damage the archaeological site or harm themselves, intervened and asked them to stop digging.
The incident has left many experts and historians puzzled, as there is no historical evidence to support the claim that Aurangzeb buried a treasure trove of gold coins in Burhanpur. Aurangzeb, who ruled India from 1658 to 1707, was known for his military campaigns and administrative policies, but there is no record of him burying treasure in the area.
“This is nothing but a myth perpetuated by the movie. There is no historical evidence to support the claim that Aurangzeb buried treasure in Burhanpur,” said Dr. Suryanath U. Kamath, a historian and archaeologist. “The villagers should be educated about the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and not engaging in such activities that can damage the archaeological site.”
The incident also raises questions about the impact of media on society. Movies and TV shows often have the power to shape public perception and influence people’s behavior. In this case, the movie ‘Chhaava’ seems to have had an unintended consequence, leading a group of villagers to believe that they can find gold by digging fields.
The incident also highlights the need for education and awareness about the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. As a society, we need to be more responsible and respectful of our cultural heritage, and not engage in activities that can damage or destroy it.
In conclusion, the incident of villagers digging fields in Burhanpur to look for gold coins is a bizarre and unintended consequence of the movie ‘Chhaava’. While the villagers’ enthusiasm is admirable, it is important that they are educated about the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and not engaging in activities that can damage the archaeological site. The incident also raises questions about the impact of media on society and the need for education and awareness about the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
