It was the beginning of nineteenth century. The British, who came to India for trade, steadily began to acquire political power in the name of East India Company.
The Indian Rajas and Maharajas, who were engaged in quarrels, competed with one another to become puppets in the hands of British. Every misfortune of India, at that time, was used to expand the British Empire.
After the British removed the last Peshwa from power, their arrogance was boundless. They brushed aside the Mughal Emperor.Dawn is the child of the night. On one side, there was a determined effort to destroy freedom, on the other side, attempts were made to get rid of slavery.
The love of freedom can never be put down, the more it is suppressed, the stronger it grows. On one hand, the crowns of the native kings were trembling, the kings were accepting the humiliating conditions imposed by the Company government, and their states were made 'protected states'. On the other hand, desires were growing to nip British rule in the bud and defend thee country's freedom and honour. But outwardly, there was calmness, as everything was being done secretly. The country was like a volcano, which is silent and calm before erupting.
