Which date Indian revolt against British for the first time by an armed guerilla attack after Sipoi Mutiny?
Feb 1898 by Chapekars
8th Feb 1872 By Chapekars
8th Feb 1872 By Sher Ali
Feb 1898 By Sher Ali
Sher Ali assassinated Lord Mayo on 8th February 1872, marking the first armed guerilla attack on British leadership after the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny. The Chapekar brothers carried out their assassination in 1898, which is later. The date 8th Feb 1872 is historically accurate.
On 8 February 1872, Sher Ali, a Pashtun prisoner in the Andaman Islands, assassinated Viceroy Lord Mayo with a knife, one of the earliest violent acts of resistance against British colonial authority after the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny. The Chapekar brothers carried out a similar armed assassination, but of Plague Commissioner Rand, in 1897, not 1872.
