Tantia Tope, like other freedom fighters, was one of the great heroes who fought courageously for India’s freedom in 1857. His father Pandurang Rao Tope shifted with Peshwa to Bithur. Tantia and the adopted sons, Nana Sahib and Maharaja Madhav, of Peshwa, become good friends. All his loved ones called him Tantia because he always used to wear a hat that was gifted to him by Peshwa.
Tantia moved his first step against the British in 1851. In May 1857, he joined the political movements and established Nana Sahib’s authority. Britishers were trying to grab everything-the wealth, kingdom and the whole empire of the country. Altogether, he fought 150 battles.
He was constantly fighting to win over the whole of India but unfortunately, he was betrayed by one of his friends. Britishers caught hold of him and hung him to death on April 18, 1859.
