  About Mangal Pandey

  Mangal Pandey was born in 1827 in a village in the United Provinces of India (now Uttar Pradesh). He joined the 34th BNI regiment in 1849. In 1857, he was ordered to use cartridges that were rumored to be greased with cow and pig fat. This was considered to be a defilement to both Hindu and Muslim soldiers.

  On March 29, 1857, Pandey attacked his British officers with his sword. He was quickly subdued and arrested. He was tried by a British court martial and sentenced to death. He was hanged on April 8, 1857.

  Pandey’s act of rebellion sparked the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny. The rebellion lasted for nearly a year and resulted in the deaths of thousands of people. It was a major turning point in the history of British rule in India.

  Pandey is considered to be a hero in India. He is remembered as a symbol of Indian resistance to British rule. His legacy continues to inspire people all over the world.
