It is generally suggested that the province of the Punjab as a whole not only remained loyal towards the colonial power but also provided crucial support to it for quelling disturbance in other parts of the country. There is no denying the fact that the Punjab was not the centre of this struggle against the company’s rule but there is ample evidence to suggest that the Punjab was not devoid of patriotic men who resisted the foreign rulers and rendered heroic sacrifices for the independence of their country. There were many who were prompted by the patriotic feelings and thus, struggled to drive alien rulers form their homeland. Although there is historiographical silence about the role of Punjab in the War but only a look on the volumes of the official Mutiny Records by the British officers is sufficient to falsify the popular impression regarding the Punjab’s role in the War of Independence 1857-58. It shows that only the rulers and Maharajas of the Punjab’s states supported the British, but the common people including the native sepoys rose against the British at many places.
