The 1857 Revolt in Bengal: How the Sepoy Mutiny Shaped Dhaka
Om avsnittet
When the Sepoy Mutiny erupted in 1857, Bengal was more than a bystander. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how the revolt reached Dhaka, the roles of the 73rd Native Infantry and the flamboyant Raja Ram Mohan Roy's distant legacy, and how the British response redefined the province. They trace the conspiracy that linked the Mughal court to the sepoys, the dramatic trial of the 'Wahhabi' preachers, and the lasting transformations: the end of the East India Company, the birth of the British Raj, and the reordering of Bengal's cities and countryside. Through specific places like the Lalbagh Fort and the Bansabari temple, they bring to life a pivotal but overlooked chapter of 1857, showing how even a suppressed revolt can reshape a nation.
