Devika Rani Chaudhuri (30 March 1908 – 9 March 1994), usually known as Devika Rani, was an Indian actress who was active in Hindi films during the 1930s and 1940s. Widely acknowledged as the first lady of Indian cinema, Devika Rani had a successful film career that spanned 10 years.

Utpal Dutta (29 March 1929 – 19 August 1993) was an Indian actor, director, and writer-playwright. He was primarily an actor in Bengali theatre, where he became a pioneering figure in Modern Indian theatre, when he founded the "Little Theatre Group" in 1949.
This group enacted many English, Shakespearean and Brecht plays, in a period now known as the "Epic theatre" period, before it immersed itself completely in highly political and radical theatre. His plays became an apt vehicle for the expression of his Marxist ideologies, visible in socio-political plays such as Kallol (1965), Manusher Adhikar, Louha Manob (1964), Tiner Toloar and Maha-Bidroha. He also acted in over 100 Bengali and Hindi films in a career spanning 40 years
The incident involving Sepoy Mangal Pandey occurred on March 29, 1857, and it is often considered one of the early sparks that ignited the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny or the First War of Indian Independence.
Mangal Pandey was a sepoy (Indian soldier) in the British East India Company's army stationed in Barrackpore, near Calcutta (present-day Kolkata), in the Bengal Presidency. On March 29, 1857, he revolted against British officers over the use of cartridges rumored to be greased with animal fat, which was deeply offensive to both Hindu and Muslim soldiers.
The soldiers were required to bite off the tips of these cartridges before loading them into their rifles. The use of animal fat, particularly cow and pig fat, violated the religious beliefs of Hindu and Muslim soldiers, respectively.
Mangal Pandey's act of defiance against his British superiors resulted in him shooting and injuring two British officers, Sergeant-Major Hewson and Lieutenant Baugh. This act of rebellion marked the beginning of larger unrest among Indian soldiers in various parts of the country, eventually leading to the widespread rebellion against British rule.
The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a significant event in Indian history, representing a major challenge to British authority and leading to significant political, social, and economic changes in the region. It played a crucial role in the eventual transfer of power from the British East India Company to the British Crown, marking the end of Company rule in India and the beginning of direct British governance through the British Raj.
