In a longer view of process it is likely okay in form for Mother India to
achieve its independence, freedom and their country back from the Britain and
the Raj of the East India Company but evidently much of India was left landless
and in poverty because of the Raj.
"The real power of the uprising was in rural India," Mr Pathak tells the BBC.
"The tragedy we find when we visit these villages is that the descendants of
the rebels are still mired in poverty."
..
™’s fate with its Raja?
..To be seen in how they behave with the group.
History can be instructive to a future, for those who have eyes to see.

have thick files of minutes of these previous attempts at reform.

Revolting (historically) against the Rajas..
"Shah Mal and 26 leaders who were hanged on a banyan tree close to the village

it was a mutiny of sepoys which spread to former rulers of northern India.
..of the many forgotten accounts of peasants and commoners, who were an
essential part of the rebellion, the widespread extent of peasant participation,
.. the rebels were hanged, and their lands were confiscated, auctioned off and
redistributed among those who were loyal.
The villages that the British declared as baagi were the ones that had fought
for independence, and which later faced heavy reprisals when the British
regained control of the territories.
..records of 1858 sheds light on how the British attacked villages in Meerut.
"The principal villages were successfully surrounded, a little after daybreak,
by different parties told of. A considerable number of the men were killed; 40
taken prisoners, 40 of whom were consequently hung…."
"But, the role of the peasantry in the uprising has been glossed over by
bourgeois historians,"
..known as sepoys, set off a rebellion against the British rule in 1857, often
referred to as the first war of independence. Ordinary farmers took up arms to
support them in the fight against the British, but their contribution has been
largely forgotten."
