Every year we celebrate our country’s independence on 15th August. We remember our great leaders like Gandhi ji, Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhash Chandra Bose, Chandrasekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, Lala Lajpat Rai and all. But more often, most of us ignore the earlier leaders who even fought with British for our freedom like Jhansi Laxmi Bhai, Nanasaheb, Tatya Tope, Begum Hazrat Mahal, Kunwar Singh, Maulvi Ahmadullah and so on. This article provides an insight on how the British colonized India, who were these leaders, what they did and how they were the major driving force for the historical event, “1857 Revolt” which is also known as the first war of Independence.
