1984 Leaders of Sepoy Mutiny First War of Independence

The 1984 “Leaders of Sepoy Mutiny – First War of Independence” stamp sheet honors key figures who played crucial roles in the 1857 rebellion against British colonial rule, often referred to as the First War of Indian Independence. The 4v mint sheet, consisting of 40 stamps, features Tatya Tope, Nana Sahib, Begum Hazrat Mahal, and Mangal Pandey, four iconic leaders of the uprising.

Mangal Pandey is remembered for his defiant act in Barrackpore, which sparked the revolt. Nana Sahib, the exiled Peshwa of the Marathas, led the resistance in Kanpur, while Tatya Tope, a brilliant military leader, commanded forces in several significant battles. Begum Hazrat Mahal, the courageous queen of Lucknow, played a pivotal role in defending the city.

These stamps serve as a tribute to the sacrifices and leadership of these historical figures, commemorating their invaluable contributions to India’s fight for independence and the resistance against British imperialism.
