  • What Really Happened During the Mutiny a Day-By-Day Account of the Major Events of 1857-1859 in India
    Pakistan Perspectives Vol. 12, No. 2, July-December 2007 What Really Happened During the Mutiny A Day-by-Day Account of the Major Events of 1857-1859 in India P.J.O. Taylor Selection by Mubarak Ali Pre-1857 It is inappropriate, and would be historically inaccurate, to dismiss the Mutiny in 1857 of the Bengal Army of the Honorable East India Company as an isolated phenomenon, or, for that matter, to attempt to categorise it as of purely military significance. JANUARY-MARCH 1857 January At the beginning of this year the East India Company had a composite force of European and Indian troops to guard its interests in India, by a coincidence the European troops were abnormally below establishment. This month saw the beginning of the phenomenon known as the ‘passing of the chapaties.’ These small unleavened cakes circulated through certain districts of the North West Provinces, no attempt was made to hide the matter, indeed many were brought to British officers and an explanation sought as to their meaning. The latter is still not clear, but it may be that it was a signal sent by those intending revolt; the pattern was fairly similar the chowkidar (village watchman) would receive two (or one) chapaties. With instruction to make ten (or six) more and distribute them two by two or one by one to neighboring villages. Rather like a chain letter the ‘news’ (though no one knew what it was) spread like wildfire. Some villagers in fact thought it was Government that was circulating the chapaties. P.J.O.

While thousands of tourists visit Jhansi each year, many miss the layered past of the city. In fact, few who visit the famous Jhansi Fort each year, even know that it is in its historic Ganesh Mandir that Rani Laxmibai got married. Or that there is also a ‘second’ Fort hidden within the Jhansi cantonment, where the revolt of 1857 first began in the city.

Though India has a rich past and at the height of its glory she was one of the most advanced nations of the world yet with the passage of time her glory faded. Not only this but due to internal disunity the invaders could rale over India for centuries together. History is a witness that even at the darkest period of her history Indians continued their struggle for independence in one way for the other and did not agree to accept the fate to which they had been so unfortunately placed. Out modern Indian political thought Practically began with Gokhale who can be called the pioneer of our national movement and subsequently India produced very many political thinkers who continued their struggle against British Imperialism both under the flag of Indian National Congress and even outside that.

    1. RAJA OF RAJAPIPLA IMPLICATED IN NANDOD DISTURBANCE, 1857 [" About the middle of August information was given by the Chief of Rajpipla that a certain Syed Morad Ali was trying to organize a disturbance at Nandod, the Chief town of the Rajpipla territory. The chief asked for help, as he believed the head of his 194 troops had been tampered with by the Syed, and that the men of his militia were inclined to join his mercenaries in revolt. On the 17th of August, Mr. Rogers, taking with him two hundred Native and fifty European troops, started for Nandod. But the Syed had taken alarm and fled," Bombay Gazetteer, Vol. II, Broach District, page 477]. The following account has been summarised from P, D. Volumes 45, 47, 48, 50 : — The acting Magistrate of Broach in a demi-official note dated 2nd August 1857 to the Political Secretary to the Government of Bombay informed him that the Raja of Nandood forwarded " a seditious notice written in the Hindustanee language which was found a few days ago pasted up in the town of Nandood. The notice is supposed to be in the handwriting of Syed Morad Allee whom we have been trying to apprehend for some time past and calls upon all the Mussulmans, all Rajahs and Nawabs by the most sacred Mahomedan adjurations to slay the English, wherever they are to be found and assist the army of the king (said to be countless but its location and the name of its master are not stated) in which case they will certainly be exalted by the said king.

  • Role of Various Classes in the Revolt of 1857 Bishwajit Bhattacharjee Asst
    প্রতিধ্বতি the Echo ISSN: 2278-5264 প্রতিধ্বতি the Echo A journal of Humanities & Social Science Published by: Dept. of Bengali Karimganj College, Karimganj, Assam, India Website: www.thecho.in Role of Various Classes in the Revolt Of 1857 Bishwajit Bhattacharjee Asst. Prof., Dept. of Bengali, Karimganj College, Karimganj Abstract Culturally the Indians were always “one”. The Titular Mughal Emperor was there to serve as a thread of unity among the Indians. The British showed disrespect to the Emperor which offended the Indians in General and the Muslims in special. India possesses its own economic system mainly based on agriculture and small industry. The foreign rulers were sending Indian raw-materials to Britain for feeding their new born industries and thus were exploiting Indian resources. The “Doctrine of Lapse” or “Escheat” policy destroyed the Indian Industries. Indian Artisans, craftsman etc. became jobless and the burden of farmland increased. Poverty grabbed seriously the people. The Indian soldiers were paid low-salaries (starting from Rs. 7 to the end of Rs. 9). Indian soldiers were ill-treated in Army by the English causing rise of discrimination in their mind. The number of Indians in Army was far larger than the British sepoys (ratio 6:1). Most of the Indian soldiers were belong to Brahmin and Thakurs of East-India. A general discontent existed among all the Indian soldiers. Such dis-satisfaction were intensified by the Lord Canning introduction of “General Service Act” which required by the sepoys to march anywhere of British Empire. It is obvious that Indian sepoys had natural love and respect their motherland and faith of their own religion.
