Kashful Baghaavat Gorakhpur: Unveiling of the Revolt at Gorakhpur

Creme de la creme of Indian society was drawn towards the fire of rebellion, some lighting it and others dousing. A sufi aristocrat chose to help the British. Despite being co-religionists, the continuum of Islam between him and the relbel leaders of his town failed to halt their grotesque crackdown on each other.
