Outbreak at Haryana

This portrait gallery puts faces to the names the country grew up reciting — Mangal Pandey, Rani Lakshmibai, Tatya Tope, Begum Hazrat Mahal, Rao Tula Ram, Kunwar Singh and dozens of regional leaders whose stories deserve to be better known.

Each portrait is paired with a short, carefully sourced biography, and with the regional gallery that tells the rest of that hero's story.
