Death Anniversary of Mangal Pandey – April 8
“The First Spark of Revolt”

April 8 marks the death anniversary of Mangal Pandey (1827–1857), the brave sepoy of the 34th Bengal Native Infantry, who ignited the flames of India's First War of Independence. His defiant stand at Barrackpore against British officers became the symbolic beginning of the 1857 Revolt, shaking the foundations of colonial rule in India.
