Glimpses of the past- Introduction
The lesson gives us a short and precise description of events that took place in our country from 1757 to
1857. It enlists incidents that led to widespread revolts, known as the First War of Independence. It provides
a glimpse of how the British East India Company expanded its power in India and exploited Indians, how they
robbed landlords and farmers of their land, created situations that led to famines and pushed patriots to
launch widespread massacres.
