The Great Indian Rebellion began to unravel after the British captured Delhi in September 1857. This unfortunately skips over many important aspects of the Indian Rebellion, including its doleful end in Nepal’s Terai region in December 1859. When the Rebellion erupted, Rana Jang Bahadur, the de-facto ruler of Nepal, dispatched 3,200 soldiers to aid the British. Nepal’s leadership did not immediately act against the Indian rebels because many natives of the Terai sympathised with the rebels. Within a month all rebels were killed or captured: The Great Indian Rebellion was thus unceremoniously snuffed out in Nepal’s Terai.
