The 1857 Circuit
Sites tied to the 1857 uprising against East India Company rule — framed neutrally, since British and Indian accounts differ on whether to call it a rebellion or the first war of independence.
A curated selection, not an official or closed list — either traditions vary on the full set of sites, or this is an editorial grouping rather than a traditional one.
Significance & tradition
One connected historical narrative across five or six destinations, two of which — Delhi and Lucknow — are already loaded, and nobody else in this space is building it.
History
The uprising began in Meerut in May 1857 and spread across North India; Lucknow's Residency siege and Delhi's fall to Company forces later that year were among its defining events.
How this list was compiled
Not exhaustive. Requires the same neutral, contested-memory framing this app already applies to sites like Gyanvapi — historical framing here is presented as differing by source tradition, not resolved to a single account.
