I watched the much awaited Mangal Pandey.Wow and was it good ?
Let me tell you, the title song is mesmerising.u feel like listeningto it again and again.
And theres this scene ..where mangal pandey is standing on a humongous groundfacing a huge fleet of soldiers ..all of them facing their riles on to this single man.And this man is bravely stands and fires a couple of rounds and then tries to sacrifice his life by shooting himself. Wow ..what could have prompted this common soldier from small town with such huge bravery.
i am still not able to understand.hats off to mangal pandey and hats off to the director of this film.i would never have known such a great person otherwise
"His attack on a superior officer in 1857 is popularly acknowledged as the first event of what is known to the British as the Indian rebellion of 1857 and to Indians as the 'First War of Independence'."
"This incident is viewed as the first spark of the bloody rebellion that was to follow. It is also seen as the beginning of the end for foreign rule in India.The Mutiny of 1857 led to the British Crown assuming complete control of the Indian territories from the British East India Company which had ruled supreme until then. "
I salute this hero who was such a big cause ..He literally uprooted the East India company.
