Methinks that perhaps there were a few sepoys who would have wanted to carry out this sentence themselves, given that he jumped the gun re: the planned mutiny? Still, these documents are chilling reading, aren't they? Execution then and now, still seems to this little black duck, to be the most cold-blooded form of state-sanctioned murder.

Thank you. Idris Attarwala Fremont, CA

Yes indeed I do. Do you have any proof to the contrary? If so, I'd love to hear it. By the way, it wasn't a Hindu upraising really.......it was instigated by those who wanted to see the Mughal empire re-established. Am I educating you????

Read Page 58, The Indian Mutiny, by Col. G. B. Malleson. (books.google.com) While one soldier helped Lieutenant Baugh and Sergeant-Major Hewson against Mangal Pandey, no one else came to their help. The 34th Bengal Native Infantry was disbanded and the all the soldiers who were at Barrackpore were marched out with every show of disgrace as stated in this book. There is certainly no mention of any sepoys who would have wanted to carry out this sentence (execution of Mangal Pandey) themselves, as mentioned by you. With the exception of one soldier, no one else seemed to be on the side of the British at Barrackpore, so why would the sepoys want to carry out his execution. By the way, it wasn't a Hindu upraising really Every child in India knows it wasn't a Hindu uprising. Eagerly looking forward to your reply.
