Mangal Pandey
Mangal Pandey was a sepoy in the British East India Company's army, whose actions in 1857 sparked the Indian Rebellion against British rule. Known for his fierce resistance, he famously attacked British officers in Barrackpore after rumors spread about the use of animal fat in rifle cartridges, which offended both Hindu and Muslim soldiers. His execution by the British ignited widespread anger and contributed to the uprising that ultimately aimed to end British colonial dominance in India.
