Some lines on contribution of Tatya Tope in the revolution of india

Martyr Tatya Tope's name is immortal in the history of those people who spread the first war of independence from the British in the whole country. For a short time in his youth, he also worked in the artillery of the English army, but he could not bear the job of the British who oppressed the land of Mother India and he joined the army of Bajirao.

Tatya Tope was one of the people who laid the foundation for the first war of independence in 1857. He fought 150 wars against the British during his lifetime and killed about 10,000 British soldiers. He led 20,000 Indian soldiers against the British.

His role in the first freedom struggle was not limited to Maharashtra only, but he also supported Rani Lakshmibai by reaching Jhansi. At that time, high officers in the English army used to tremble at his name because fighting Tatya Tope meant fighting a very skilled warrior who was expert in guerilla warfare. From Kanpur to Jaipur, from Jhansi to the battlefields of Maharashtra, wherever they faced the British, the British had to retreat.

Today, when we remember Tatya Tope, we also have to keep in mind that at a time when there were no roads like today, nor was there such a huge network of rails, what a brave act of fighting the British forces in an area of ​​thousands of kilometers. Would have been It is difficult to even imagine how difficult it must have been at that time to cross the overflowing rivers like Chambal and Narmada with troops and weapons and to drive back the British army by coming to Jhansi, Jaipur, Kanpur.

Today, when we are independent and India got its 75 years of independence, then we should not forget how brave and brave freedom fighters like Tatya Tope had sacrificed for us without any facilities and resources.
