| What is another name for the Great Mutiny of 1857? | the war of Indian Independence | The next event of importance in the district was the war of Indian Independence or the Great Mutiny of 1857 as it is sometimes called. The events in the up-country had inspired the people of Bihar also and they prepared to overthrow the foreign yoke. The letters found in the house of Pir Ali, a book- seller at Patna, in the course of a search of his house on the 4th July 1858 confirmed that the uprising was not a sepoy mutiny but a planned effort to free the country from foreign rule. Tayler was then the Commissioner of Patna. He wanted General Lloyd, who was in command of the military divisions at Dinapur, to disarm them. The General was hesitant, and at long last he reluctantly agreed to take away the percussion-caps of the sepoys. The Indian soldiers could not tolerate the insult inflicted upon them. | 49 | definition | 1.000 | https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/299/download/846/DH_2011_1028_PART_B_DCHB_PATNA.pdf | The next event of importance in the district was the war of Indian Independence or the Great Mutiny of 1857 as it is sometimes called. | 23 | page=23,block=2 | 0.700 |
