Answer 2

For the few who think of Mangal Pandey as just another character role played by Aamir Khan, a quick lesson in history:

So, he's not a fictional character?

Of course not. Born in the village of Nagwa, district Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, Mangal Pandey was introduced to history books as the sepoy who played a major role in the Indian uprising of 1857.

He was a soldier of the 34th Native Infantry whose attack on a superior officer came to be recognised as the event that sparked India's First War of Independence. Little is known of his life before that momentous incident but he has been declared a martyr since.

Special: Showcasing Mangal Pandey

What happened that day?

Pandey attacked his British sergeant and wounded an adjutant. The office in charge, General Hearsay, noticed that Pandey was in the throes of some sort of 'religious frenzy', and ordered a jamadaar to arrest him. The latter refused.

Surrounded by guards and European officers, Pandey tried to commit suicide by shooting himself. He was seriously wounded, and promptly arrested.

Following a court-martial on April 6, he was hanged at Barrackpore on April 8, 1857. As a collective punishment for his act, the entire regiment was also dismissed.

Was he India's first freedom fighter?

According to records at the Jabalpur Museum, Pandey was to be executed on April 18. But he was hanged 10 days earlier to prevent the regiment from harbouring ill will against superiors. The English were also aware that news of Pandey's death could spark more unrest.
Going by the date on which he was executed, Mangal Pandey became the first freedom fighter and martyr of 1857.
His name has since been synonymous with revolt."

Answer 4

Mangal Pande was hanged by british rulers.
The major reason was that he was a great patriot of India.
He was the only person who took first step against british rulers in 1957.
Thank you.

Answer 5

He was a catalyst to a Mutiny in 1857. He was hanged primarily because of that and also he killed his White British Sergeant and that caused an uproar and an example was needed to be set for other Indian soldiers who could have done the same therefore upsetting the power equation and strategies of East India Company.

Answer 6

for revolting against the british rule in India

Answer 7

He attacked his British Sergeant I believe and then tried to commit suicide.
