Chapter 10The Last Stand
The Hunting of Tantia Tope
तांत्या टोपे की खोज
For nine months and nineteen days after the Rani's death, the last Maratha general of the war keeps the column moving — three thousand kilometres, twenty-seven actions, six British columns in pursuit and none catching him. Betrayed in his sleep in April 1859 by a chief he had trusted. Hanged at Sipri before a silent crowd.
