Episode 217

Tope conducted several sudden raids on the British army and after the defeat of his army he would slip off to another place to form a new army. The British forces chased him from June 1858 to April 1859, but he outsmarted them every time. The army could not arrest Tope in the 2,800 miles marathon that passed through several hills, rivers, forests and mountains. During one of his escapes, he met Man Singh, King of Narwar and soon became his friend. Man Singh was in conflict with the Maharaja of Gwalior and the British were able to negotiate with him to surrender Tope and get his family protected against the Maharaja. Cortasy free press general
