Nana Farari was an Indian revolutionary turned Dacoit from Bombay State (now Maharashtra) who fought against British rule in India during the Indian independence movement in the late 1940s.[1]
Life[edit]
Nana Ferrari was born to a farmer family of Maharashtra.[2]
Farari took part in the Indian independence movement. Following the independence of India in 1947, Farari continued his rebellion by taking up arms against hoarding and malsaji Sahukars and moneylenders. By October 1947, he had cut off the noses and ears of people from trading communities such as Bania, Parsi and Teli. The government of Bombay State declared Farari to be a dacoit.[3]
For several months, Bombay State police searched for Farari in Nashik and Trimbak.[4] Farari was shot and killed by police during an encounter in Toragaon village.[5]
