Indian freedom fighters killing innocent British civilians was never taught in school. This is a great article reminding that history depends on which side tells the story. OFficials should make this as a tourist spots in Meerut so that the maintenance of this cemetry can be self-funded.

Excellent thoughts Mr.Balu We should ask foreigners to come back and rule us again - then we we will get to see the other side telling the story. Keep it up. You rock.

WHAT THE HELL???
WHO THE REDIFF DARES TO CALL THIS A MUTINY....
I HATED THE BRITISH MUSEAMS WHEN I VISITED UK FOR CALLING THIS A MUTINY...............
MUTINY IS WHEN YOU DO IT AMONG YOUR OWN PEOPLE OR AGAINST YOUR OUR COUNTRY ---- BRITISH WAS A FOREIGN RULE THAT WE STILL HATE........
DID THEY EVER TEACH MORONS IN SCHOOL THAT BRITISH MILLIONS OF INDIANS TO TEACH US A LESSON. THEY DIDN'T SPARE EVEN THE CHILDREN AND WOMEN.
I HATE REDIFF WHEN THEY SPEAK THE BRITISH TONE AND PUT DEROGATORY COMMENTS ABOUT OUR ANCESTORS.
ALSO TO LET YOU KNOW I AM FROM LUCKNOW --- THE PLACE WHERE WE FOUGHT AND DEFEATED THESE GORAS AND WE SAW HUGE MASSACERES BY THESE BRITISH AND WE KNOW THE REALITY OF THESE GUYS.
