(SUBHEAD)The Foundation said that it has been 167 years since the martyrdom of Mangal Pandey who was the hero of freedom and had the courage to speak against the British even while he was in the service of the British and as a reward for this, he was martyred. What did the 30-year-old young man who was hanged know that the throne and crowns of the British government would be shaken by the rebellion of this one? tried to fix the date of execution of but there was an increase in anti-British activities throughout the country.
The panicked government was supposed to hang him on April 18, but he was hanged on April 8, 1857. Those who killed him disappeared but brave people like Pandey are still alive in history.
