What was the role of ishtahars |
| Answer» \tDuring the revolt only few proclamations and ‘ishtahars’ (notification) were issued by rebel leader to propagate their ideas and persuade people to join the revolt.\tSo it is very difficult to reconstruct what happened in 1857 and what were the demands of rebels. The only way to know in detail about revolt of 1857 is by going through details of British officials and to know their point of view.\tProclamation issued by rebel leader appealed to all sections of the population irrespective of cast and creed. The rebellion was seen as a war in which both Hindus and Muslims were equally to lose or gain.\tIt was remarkable that during uprising, religious division between Hindus and Muslims was hardly noticeable despite the attempt of British government. | |
