Episode 225
from BHARAT NAMA
In 1775, in response to a request from Bombay, the Madras Council decided to send the Ninth Battalion of native infantry stationed at Tiruchirapalli. They refused to go and the acting commandant Makhdum Sahib and his associates were blown away from the mouth of a cannon. Similarly, in 1795, the Indian sepoys of the Madras army refused to participate in an expedition against the Dutch in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Needless to say, this too resulted in their death and severe punishments. courtesy siasat. com
