Though more than one and half century has passed, the heroism, patriotism  and determination of the participants in the First War of Independence 1857 is still remembered and honoured by the Nation. The Britishers called it Sepoy Munity, since it was mainly the Sepoys in the British Army who revolted first. The first shot was fired by the sepoys against the Britishers on 1oth May 1857 at Meerut, which spread like wildfire all over the North.

Though there was great victories against the British in the initial stage, including capturing of Red Fort in Delhi and other cities, the better arms and striking power of the Britishers won the day. The revolt was suppressed and the sepoys and the leaders and forces of Indian princes were massacred. The final curtain came down with the capture of Gwalior Fort by the British on  20th June 1858.

On this day, 10th May, we remember the great sacrifice made by thousands of Indians who  fought for the freedom of the country and have become immortal. Our Revolutionary Homage to these Martyrs at the altar of Freedom!
