  1. Suman N Said,

    That is ghastly for sure. It hurts to even think about it

  2. Peter Said,

    The ignorance and lack of pride on the part of Indian’s of the events of 1857 is sickening.The war of independence was the biggest threat to Imperialism in the nineteenth century.This
    ignorance is proof that India is not truly independant.

  3. Kiran Said,

    I’m sorry, but I’m not sure how anyone can object to that punnishment. It was assigned to those guilty of the bibighar massacar which is noted in this very blog (http://www.1857mutiny.com/1857/07/16/black-cloud-of-bibighar-events/).

    How could any retribution be too great against the people who carried out such attocities?
