Rebellion spark for Rebellion spark for Independence

The "Vellore Mutiny" of 1806 is one of the earliest examples of India's resistance against the British. The mutiny, which began on 10 July, 1806, was the first time Indians expressed their resentment against the British. On the 213th anniversary of the rebellion, Sahapedia's Manan Kapoor takes a look at the revolt and its significance. He recounts how the 1806 "Vellore Mutiny" set the stage for the 1857 "Sepoy Mutiny."
