Description
The time of India’s colonial occupation was one of the darkest times in our history. The British and other foreign powers captured territories, oppressed and exploited people and conquered even the mightiest of empires. However, as the British Crown tightened its hold over India through strength and strategy, there were individuals who stood up to oppose the growing foreign power. From kings and queens to common citizens, a lot of brave warriors rose to fight for their motherland. Many noble rulers gave up their lives to protect their subjects and lead their kingdoms in resistance.
