Hi Everyone,
A Happy Independence Day to all of you. On this occasion I thought that I would put together a quiz on India’s struggle for independence, our salute to the great men and women who participated in the struggle.
1. Na Iran ne kiya, na Shah Roos ne
Angrez ko tabah kiya kartoos ne
What is this reference to the kartoos as far as the First War of Independence is concerned?
The bullets of the new Enfield rifle were supposedly coated with the fat of pigs and cows. (Both of them anathema to Muslims and Hindus.) And the sepoys were supposed to bite the bullet before being able to use it.

ReplyDelete1.It refers to the use of cow's and pig's skin for making the bullets(Kartoos).Cow scared for Hindus and pig taboo for Muslims rebelled against it who were part of the British army in those days. It was so highly opposed because the covering had to be removed by mouth. Mangal Pandey lead the protest.
3. Jalianwala Bagh
4.Mrs.Indira Gandhi
1. Sir the Kartoos (Cartridges)that were given to Indian army during British rule were made of animal fat (cow or pig) n one had to tear off the outer covering from rear end to load the gun-powder. 'Mangal Pandey' being a Brahmin stood against this and marked the starting point of India's fight for Freedom in 1857 which later expelled Britishers from India.
ReplyDelete2. I suppose he tried to pacify 'Mangal Pandey'.
3. He was the one who planned the Jallianwala Bagh protest with Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Satyapal. If I'm not wrong its Dr. Saifuddin Kitchlew.
4. It was by Mrs. Indira Gandhi.
