cartridges were rumored to be lubricated with animal fat, specifically cow and pig fat. As a result
of the cartridges’ use, the Indian troops rebelled against the corporation since it violated their
religious beliefs. Pandey and his fellow sepoys rose up in revolt against the British commanders
on March 29, 1857, and even attempted to kill them. He was arrested and sentenced to death
on April 18. However, anticipating a sepoy uprising, British officials executed him 10 days

Chandra Bose. He was born on 23rd January 1897. He was a radical nationalist and his ultimate
patriotism carved a hero out of him. Bose belonged to the extremist section of the Indian
freedom fighters. He was the leader of a radical youth wing of Congress from the early years of

Gandhi, instead of believing that only armed revolt could oust the British from India. The founder
of the Forward Bloc, he escaped the eyes of the British to ultimately reach Germany during the
second world war. He raised the Indian National Army (INA) and with Japanese help, was able
to free a portion of Indian territory from the British in Manipur, but was ultimately defeated due to
