Kathmandu: India on Tuesday organised a wreath laying ceremony in Nepal to commemorate the?136th death anniversary of Begum Hazrat Mahal, who had rebelled against British colonial rule in the country in 1857-58.

Piyush Srivastava, Charge d' Affaires of Embassy of India, laid a wreath on the tomb of Mahal at a mosque in Bagh Bazar, Kathmandu.

Srivastava recalled the contributions of Mahal for India's freedom-struggle.

Begum Hazrat Mahal was the wife of then ruler of Awadh (Uttar Pradesh), Nawab Wajid Ali Shah.

She was an Indian freedom fighter who rebelled against the British East India Company during the India's first struggle for freedom in 1857.

After her husband was exiled to Calcutta, she took charge of the affairs in the state of Awadh and seized control of Lucknow.

She also arranged for her son, Prince Birjis Qadra, to become Wali (ruler) of Awadh; however, he was forced to abandon this role after a short reign.

She finally found asylum in Nepal where she died on April 7, 1879.

Begum was buried in the courtyard of the 'Hindustani Masjid', the mosque she had built for her followers.

You could say the Land of the Free was created by disgruntled noblemen and opportunistic slave owners.

Indians were more free during that time and India was known as Golden bird.

I know this arguement will not take us anywhere but majority of Indians do remember the contributions of those Indians who have sacrificed thier lives during 1857 and after that.

No , those were movements to keep the nation free, Indian union do remember the sacrificies of all those warriors.

what nation, nationhood was not on agenda. They quickly got a old mughal as figurehead(poor guy paid price for that)... rest kings and queens wanted their own kingdom back... what was jhansi rani there for? to join Indian union?
if they had won, we would have got hundreds of kingdom.. remember this predates congress so no common man could organize and make a dream of united India.

they are invaders, if they fought along the Maratha it was the need of the hour if they had to fight muslim rule they would never have joined the Maratha, in the south even now we call Muslims as turkas they are from turkey, look now if some muslim country fights hindus all the muslim countries join them to fight against us, because they had to fight the britishers they joined the group to save their saltanat, hadnt they killed hindu kings and committed heinus crimes against hindus to build their empire

Do you think that the concept of nationhood was not there before British ? What was Maurya Empire , Mughal Empire and Maratha Empire ?

United India is the dream of all Indians irrespective of thier tribes.

These are all Gandhari Putrs , Do you want to deny ancient religious books of Mahabharatha ?

Turks of Turkey ? Turkudlu is the term used in Telangana which some use even for native Indian Muslims which i think is wrong.

Rani Lakshmibai was inspiration for Shahid Bhagat Singh and Subhash Chandra Bose

Why you think still Government of India consider it as the First war of Independence ?

 

[livingdead]
