    The Britishers called it the Mutiny of the Sepoys.
    The story about the Chapati is absolutely true. My mother used to relate it to us together with other stories of independence. She said men on horseback travelled thru out the length and breath of India carrying chapatis in their hand which were then distributed and he was given more to take forward. Your acceptig the chapati meant you were in. it was a confirmation. Like that the chapatis travelled from village to village garnering the people together in this which was our first war of independence.

    I am a 46 year old chinese man. I first met my partner in the usa studying our mba. We met because we were both intl students and unfamilar to usa culture and customs. Yet we bonded, oh yes we bonded. Over butter chicken, prata, and similarities in culture. We come from a culture where we would die to save our parents. We come from a great similar culture of piety, loyalty, and love of all things different. Indians and chinese are natural allys, the problem is language. Fortunately the west gave us english andwe bonded and so bonded till today. We have a border dispute, but we can overcome it. Through language communication and butter chicken. Trust me, we all want the same things. Leta our govt resolve the border dispute once and for all, and!! Most important, let our people communicate. Because once we do, its so beautiful the indian culture, and so is the Chinese culture.

      i respect Chinese culture but your RULERS are MAD. Mount Kailash has been a part of India & Hindu culture since millennia .
      have you ever seen Indians asking for its political integration ever ? no !
      your leaders go like " X was a part of China 200 years ago - so it's Chinese "
      " Y was a part of China 300 years ago - so.. Chinese "
      the fact being even if X & Y were NOT a part of China 100 years more into the history or 100 years later ; China claims it.
      every region was a part of different Empires at different times in History .
      how come Chinese claim ( based on History ) of a particular region becomes more stronger than any other nation's claim ?

    The Vellore mutiny, or Vellore Revolution, occurred on 10 July 1806 and was the first instance of a large-scale and violent mutiny by Indian sepoys against the East India Company, predating the Indian Rebellion of 1857 by half a century. The revolt, which took place in the Indian city of Vellore, Tamil Nadu.

On 24 October 1801, Maruthu brothers were hanged by british along with 500 other male family members in the fort of Tirupputhur, which is now Sivaganga district, Tamil Nadu. The British allowed a male heir from the Marudu Pandyar family to live, but later exiled him to Penang, Malaysia due to fears that the child would rebel against the British.

For example, in Africa, cassava is a staple food that is often considered to be a "filler food." However, it is a nutrient-rich food that can provide people with the energy they need to survive.
      It is important to remember that food is not just about taste or nutrition. It is also about culture and identity. For many people, their staple foods are more than just a way to get calories.

    Meerut is my birthplace. According to some local scholars, chapatis were used as gatepass to the meeting grounds which were just behind the famous Kali Paltan ( Shivji) temple. The temple still stands grand and splendid in the cantonment. Back then, it was surrounded by a huge forest. All meetings about the freedom movement at the local level were held right there. Those who came with and showed the given number of chapatis were escorted to the secret areas; others were just allowed to pass by.
    Since chapatis being our daily bread were carried by everyone, no suspicions were ever raised, and the planning in the deep forests carried on for as long as it could.
    I do not know how authentic this part of the story is, but I would appreciate it if the truth about chapatis gets unearthed.
