What are the causes of the revolt of 1857 in Assam |
|
Answer» Answer: Heya!!! Here is your answer Mention 1857 , and immediately IMAGES of Jhansi ki Rani , Tatya Tope , Nanasahib and other revolutionaries spring to MIND. It was after all an event mainly limited to TODAY’s Bihar and UP one would say , some will be bit more positive and say that the event affected the northern parts of India. Nothing can be further from the truth . For the echoes of the GREAT uprising of ordinary soldiers and princes were heard even in far away Assam ! The proclaimation made in 1857 in name of the Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar had REACHED first Calcutta , and from there further east to Guwahati and Dibrugarh. And the architect of all this was one patriot now forgotten from India’s history books – Maniram Dutta Barua , popularly known as Maniram Dewan. |
