How many history in one skull!

Alam Beg's skull killed by the Sepoy rebellion. The British government executed the execution of some rebels, including Alam Beg, in the cannon graft.

Historian Kim Wagner sat on an office in London in 2014 and was sitting in an office in Milan. He got an e-mail from a couple. It was written, they have a skull.

The teacher in London's Queen Mary University's history said that the couple had written to him that they were not comfortable with their skills in their home. You can not understand what to do about it. The lower part of the skull was not part of the jaw and teeth. The old skull is getting dark-brown color. But another aspect of the skull is that, a note in his eye coat. A handwritten note is the history of the skull.

According to the note, Khuli Havildar Alam Beg. He was in the Infantry Force of 46 Bengal Regiment. With some members of the regiment he was blown off with a cannon. One of the main leaders of the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 and was the cruelest. He took the position along with a group of soldiers on the road to the castle. All Europeans in the fort were running for safety. That party said. Graham, Mr. Hunter's family was brutally killed. 32-year-old Alam Beg, who was 5 feet 7 inches high, was well-off.

Later, the skull took Captain Castello to Britain. He was in charge while hanging Alam Beg.

It is clear from the note that Alam Beg was one of the sepoy rebels, who worked in the Bengal Regiment. In 1858, the British whipped some rebels, including Alam Beg in the Sialkot, in front of the cannons. Later, the skull was taken to England. Though there were many things in the note, why did Alam Beg, who was brutally murdered, did not mention anything about it. That is, there is nothing written about sepoy rebellion.

A handwritten note found in the skull eye coat. It has a brief history of the skull.

Sepoy rebellion is said to be India's first independence war. One of the army's insurrections against the British East India Company, this sepoy revolt of 1857 The army revolted when Bagu was circulated as a fat cartridge of the forbidden animal. Since the independence of India in 1947, the British ruled India in 200 years.

The Essex couple Alam Beg did not find much work on the internet, but she did not get much. Later, they came in contact with Wagner as a historian. They said they had inherited the skull from a relative. In 1963, he bought his relative, ' Lord Claude', a bar. There was a small room in the old room in the old box in the old building. No one can say that how the skull went there. In 1963, the matter of the Khulas was reported to local media, and the pictures of the owner of the park all were printed. At that time the skull was displayed on the water table. But after the owners of that Waterhouse died, the ownership was transferred to the relatives. Later, the skull was hidden.

After getting the skull, Wagner has to verify whether he has a real connection to the history. Because, Athena, the author of the letter lying inside the skull, is unknown. The skull was examined in London's Natural History Museum. It is seen in the mid-19th century that a young man in Asia,

Experts say there are no signs of injury. The case of the cannonball is not unusual. There is also evidence to cut off the head and boil it for protection from insects.

It is difficult to find information about a soldier separately in the colonial archives. But on March 29, 1857, there was no exception to the fact that the first shot against the British officer, Mr. Panda. They rebelled in India against a colonial power. However, the name of the velocity is not available in any document, letter, memo or record in any library in India or the United Kingdom. None of his descendants wanted to return the skull.

Queen Mary of London has discovered the history of the university's history teacher and historian Kim Wagner.

The big challenge for Wagner was to get the link out of the incident. He started research on speed. Attract the archives of India and the United Kingdom. Sialkot went to work to find forgotten history. In July 1857, Veg took part in the Battle of Triimua Ghat in Sialkot. He was defeated and detained by General Nicholson in the four-day war.

In addition to all the results, Wagner wrote a book titled 'The School of Alam Beg'. Yasmin Khan, associate professor of Oxford University History, said that the book is like a detective novel. But British governance and colonial violence will play an important role in understanding. '

Wagner said his book is the story of life and death of Alam Beg through some dramatic chapter in British India. Talk about humanity and dignity to him. Hopefully, 160 years later, Alam Beg has been working for peace for the first time.

Alam Beg is buried with dignity in the future, that is what Wagner wants. He said that it would be better to bury him on the Ravi river island at the border of India. There the rebels took shelter at the end of the first day of the war. However, he refuses to make his own decision about this.

Wagner says, whatever happens, the last chapter of the story of Alam Beg is still left to write.
