    DEDICATED TO THE MARTYRS OF 1857

    The nation that has no consciousness of its past has no future. Equally
    true it is that a nation must develop its capacity not only of claiming a
    past, but also of knowing how to use it for the furtherance of its future.
    MANGAL PANDAY, the first martyr of the
    struggle. He kissed the scaffold at Barrackpore
    on 8th May, 1857, gave not only his blood, but
    his sacred name also to the Revolution and
    inspired every soldier.

    RANI LAKSHMIBAI OF JHANSI. Her name has


    become a byword in bravery. With the slogan,
    " I will not give Jhansi" she assumed the
    leadership of the Revolution. She is one of the
    few women-warriors. Her chivalry has been
    sung in many songs over the years.

    NANA SAHIB PESHWA was the moving spirit


    behind the Revolution. A great organiser and
    warrior, his disappearance from India and his
    end are one of the unsolved mysteries of
    history.
    BEGUM ZINAT MAHAL, the Queen of Delhi. A
    determined Begum, she inspired her husband to
    join the revolution wholeheartedly. She
    accompanied him to Burma when the latter was
    sentenced to transportation to life.

    With the British victory, the emperor's two


    other sons were shot for supporting the rebels;
    however, her son did not become heir.

    AZIMULLAH KHAN, the trusted and valiant


    counselor of Nana Sahib. He rose from the low
    station of a menial servant by his industry and
    ability. Become military officer and stood,
    shoulder to shoulder with his master.

    MAULVI AHMEDA SHAH When victory by open


    war become unlikely he took to guerilla
    warfare from Bari to Bitaoli with a view to
    drive the British out of Oudh.
    Maulavi was the only one who could have
    dared to defeat Sir Colin Campbell twice. The
    British could never catch Maulvi alive. The
    price of 50,000 pieces of silver was announced
    to capture him. Finally the king of Powayan
    Raja Jagannath Singh killed Maulvi with
    treachery, beheaded and presented his head
    to the magistrate. Raja Jagannath was paid
    announced price for his treachery. Next day,
    the head of Maulvi was hanged at Kotwali.
    KING BAHADUR SHAH ZAFAR The
    revolutionaries rolled around him and declared
    him the sovereign of Hindusthan at Delhi.

    KUNWAR SINGH OF JAGDISH PUR IN BIHAR


    Though reduce to extremities with hunger,
    besieged by age, his ambition was to drink the
    enemy's blood. He was the very genius of
    guerilla warfare. Like Nana Sahib and Rani of
    Jhansi he was a pillar of the Revolution in
    Nortj-east India. His sacrifice will be
    remembered till Ganga flows. र

    TATIA TOPE - Commander-in-Chief of Peshwa.


    Nana Sahib was a great military genius and a
    fighter. When sentenced to death, he mocked
    and mounted the scaffold with as much
    firmness as handcuffs would allow him and put
    his head into the noose.
