Bhurtpore Uprising

The Bhurtpore Uprising occurred in 1825-1826 in Bhurtpore, a princely state in India. It was a rebellion against British rule, led by the local ruler, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, and his supporters. The uprising arose from resentment towards British interference in Indian affairs and attempts to annex princely states. The British launched a military campaign to suppress the revolt, culminating in the siege and capture of Bhurtpore. The uprising is significant as it highlighted the growing dissatisfaction with British imperial control and foreshadowed later larger-scale revolts in India.
