Okay, so I just seen a bit of a trailor to this movie starring Amir Khan on ARY. I tried searching online of what it is all about and stuff but couldnt find something good.
All I got from the trailor that it is about Mangal Pandey and about the 1857 war. I know he was killed in the 1857 war and did something great I think. But what confused me that it said watch the story of India’s Independence or something like that.
My question is: Independence from what? I mean isnt it that after the 1857 war, India went under the British rule because the last Moghul King Bahadur Shah Zafar had to give up his throne?
My question could just be a result of very little information about the movie but if somebody does have more info about it can you please post it here cuz i m really confused.
It don't say "story of India's Independence" but it say " story of ur seed of Independence". Mangal Pandey is the first one who raised his voice against british and led the first war of independepnce in 1857 (which was eventually cruched).
mangal pandey was the first one to stand against the british in an organized way. his mayrterdom led the foundation of further rising against british. he was a rebellion and that mutiny was a sucess in many ways. they reached delhi and made zafar king of india again.
1857 revolt is considered to be the sepoy mutiny.started in barackpore(bengal) by mangal pandey and meerut(up).these sepoy after revolting in meerut reached delhi and declared bahadur shah zafar as the king of india who was dethroned by britishers.this revolt was not organised as the kings who were dethroned by british fought only for their kingdoms.like laxmibai for jhansi,nana saheb and tatya tope for kanpur,kuwar singh in bihar(not sure of place).the majority of kings who were patronized by british were against this revolt and they supported british in this revolt like gorkhas,sikhs and scindia of gwalior.it was only ristricted to the northern parts of india.southern kingdoms didnt take part in it.so british were able to easily crush this revolt.after this revolt only india came under the rule of union jack and the rule passed on to queen of england from the british east india company.for british warren hestings was the hero of this revolt coz he was successfully able to crush it.indian historians calls it the 1st war of independence from british east india company and british historian call it just a sepoy mutiny(remember the victor always writes the history:D)
Causes The rebellion was the outcome of decades of ethnic and cultural differences between Indian soldiers and their British superiors. The specific reason that triggered the rebellion was the use of cow and pig fat in .557 calibre Pattern 1853 Enfield (P/53) rifle cartridges. Since soldiers had to break the cartridges with their teeth before they could load them into their rifles, this was offensive to Hindu and Muslim soldiers, who considered tasting beef and pork to be against their respective religious tenets. In February 1857, sepoys (Indian soldiers in the British army) refused to use their new cartridges. The British claimed to have replaced the cartridges with new ones and tried to make sepoys make their own grease from beeswax and vegetable oils, but the rumor persisted.
Mangal Pandey and the march to Delhi In March 1857, Mangal Pandey, a soldier of the 34th Native Infantry, attacked his British sergeant and wounded an adjutant. General Hearsay, who said Pandey was in some kind of “religious frenzy,” ordered a jemadar to arrest him but the jemadar refused. Mangal Pandey was hanged on 7 April along with the jemadar. The whole regiment was dismissed as a collective punishment. Other sepoys felt this was too harsh.
On May 10th, when the 11th and 20th cavalry assembled, they broke rank and turned on their commanding officers. They then liberated the 3rd Regiment, and on 11 May, the sepoys reached Delhi. They were joined by other Indians from the local bazaar. They attacked and captured the Red Fort, which was the residence of Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last emperor of the Mughal dynasty. The sepoys demanded that he reclaim his throne. He was reluctant at first, but eventually agreed to the demands and became the leader of the rebellion.
^ they’ll explore it like that 'cause he was a Hindu and let’s be honest, even the Muslims during that time were Indians.
