Good morning to all fellow Nationalists. Today let's know about another unsung Hero of our Nation. Thanks to @rathoreprity19 for letting me know on him.
Kunwar Singh - lead the Indian Rebellion of 1857 in Bihar at the age of 80. He was popularly known as "Veer Kunwar Singh"
At the age of 80, he led a select band of armed soldiers against the troops under the command of the British East India Company.He gave a good fight and harried British forces for nearly a year and remained invincible until the end. He was an expert in the art of guerilla warfare
His tactics left the British puzzled. During the rebellion, his army had to cross the Ganges river. Douglas' army began to shoot at their boat. One of the bullets shattered Singh's left wrist. Singh felt that his hand had become useless and that there was the additional risk,
of infection due to the bullet-shot. He drew his sword and cut off his left hand near the elbow and offered it to the Ganges. He fought his last battle on 23rd April 1858, near Jagdispur and routed the Brit troops completely & hoisted his flag in the fort.
