Though this dargah was not in the list of our
Heritage Visit, we landed this Dargah by accident. When we inquired the route
for the Pallavaram Masque, the locals guided to this Darga. Mr Venkatesh told that
this Dargah is also a historically
important site and referred Mr Kombai Anvar’s article appeared in Hindu.
One of the remains of the war between Portuguese
and Golkonda & Bijapur Sultans at Santhome is this Hazrath Syed Badrudeen
Shaheed Dargah on Dargah Road Pallavaram. The 16th century Santhome
Fort was attacked many times by the British, Dutch, French, Vijayanagar, Bijapur & Golkonda Sultanates.
In 1646, the Golkonda Sultane forces attacked
Santhome Portuguese Fort under the command of Mir Jumla with a cannon borrowed from
British of Fort St George. In this war Badrudin of Golkonda cavalry also participated
as a horseman. He replaced the Portuguese flag with Golkonda Flag after scaling
the walls of the Fort. While he was returning back to celebrate this victory he
was attacked by the Portuguese sailor from behind and severely cut his head. As per
the legend Badrudin took his head in one hand, climbed on the horse and rode
along with his mother and brother. ( the fact may be different. He might have
partially cut his head or might have grievously injured ). On the way he died at Pallavaram and buried. Through
this extraordinary act of miracle and will power, he is being treated as a
saint.
His Mother and brother stayed at Pallavaram and
after their death their bodies are also buried next to him. His horse and the dog was also buried at the entrance of the
Dargah and separate structures were raised.
