"Hutatma" means "martyr" as a title. "Bhai" is a sobriquet. What is "Veer"? Is it short for "Vithal"? -- Bejnar ( talk) 21:32, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
The person called "Hutatma Bhai Kotwal" seems to be the same as "Vithal Laxman Kotwal", so the problem with sources may be from variations in what he is called. This movie magazine says Now, film maker F.M. Illyas ( 'Arjun' fame) is all set to make a film on the life of Hutatma Bhai Kotwal. Known for his selfless service to the society in the capacity of a lawyer, his work has been highly appreciated by people from Maharashtra. Bhai Kotwal was known for his free legal service to poor farmers, who were indebted and harassed by moneylenders. His sacrifice while fighting against the Britishers is also known to all. Now, through this film, the new generation will come to know about his contribution to the society. -- Bejnar ( talk) 20:28, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
In the book Quit India revolution: the ethos of its central direction by K. K. Chaudhari (1996), Kotwal is discussed on pages 172 and 309. As a reference, the author cites Chavan, S. T. (1989). Bharatiya Swatantrya Sangramatil Jhunjhar Krantiveer: Hutatma Bhai Kotwal. Bombay: Veer Kotwal Yuvak Mandal., which I have been unable to find. I have not even found a listing of Chavan's book in an online catalog, such as that of the National Library of India or University of Mumbai. Mumbai Univ. does have a sketchy listing for Srivastava, Ramlal. Hutatma Kotwal. Neral: Kotwal Wadi Trust., no year of publication or length. -- Bejnar ( talk) 20:28, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
Commons has several pictures of the statue of Kotwal. Category:Hutatma kotwal monument. Which one is the most appropriate? There seems to be a similar statue of him in the Municipal Garden of Matheran, See here, of which no one has yet taken a picture for the commons. -- Bejnar ( talk) 21:44, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
