Kunwar Singh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Babu Kunwar Singh (b. 1777 – d. 1857) belonged to a Rajput royal house of Jagdhishpur, currently a part of Sasaram district, Bihar state, India. At the age of 80 years, during India’s First War of Independence (1857-58), he actively led a select band of armed soldiers against the troops under the command of the British Raj, and also recorded victories in many battles. In his last battle, fought on 23 April 1858, near Jagdishpur, the troops under the control of the British Raj were completely routed. To honor his memory and his contribution to India’s freedom movement, the Republic of India issued a commemorative stamp[1] on 23rd April, 1966.
