about ur first post. But abt the second, just because it appeared in new york times whats the proof that it is right. There are many documents in india which say that it was mangal pandey who was one of the first fighters of teh first war of independance. What makes you think that just because they are indian documents they are wrong and since new york times is a gora document it is right.
