Mangal Pandey didn't start, rather ruined Uprising of 1857

We didn't know much about the man named Mangal Pandey since our textbooks didn't mention anything about him. I bet majority of Pakistanis learned about him all thanks to the movie made by Aamir Khan in 2005. As per Khan he did a thorough research about the figure before starting the project ??


However the sole reason why Pandey has been eulogized was/is Brahmanism or Brahmin supremacy. In fact the sole reason why he attacked his (White) superiors was him tricked into biting cartridges made out of beef and pork tallows . Otherwise he was serving British East India Company like a professional sepoy and would continue to do so had he not learned the ugly truth about those cartridges. He used to shoot his own fellow countrymen. Plus was a strong believer in casteism

Earlier I mentioned how casteism or Brahmanism was already controlling social and political landscape of the subcontinent. Untouchables were pushed against the wall in such a severe way that they would even seek employment with British East India Company.

When Dalits fought on behalf of British East India Company against Peshwa Brahmins

In reality, people were already planning to overthrow Company Sarkar. But all thanks to impatient and enraged attitude of Pandey; it all went through major hiccups and mismanagement....and eventually failure
