Thousands of remarkable figures, including kings and revolutionaries, remain unrecognized in the Indian freedom struggle, among whom Raja Pratap Singh of Amroha district is notable. Situated in present-day Dhanaura, Azampur, listed in the Ain-i-Akbari as an important administrative unit during Akbar’s reign, played a pivotal role during the Mughal period. This area, under the Sambhal Sarkar, saw significant activity, including a notable revolt led by Akbar’s relatives Ibrahim Hussain Mirza, Muhammad Hussain Mirza, and Shah Mirza, which was suppressed by Tyagi Zameendars under Raja Brahma Singh's leadership. The Tyagis, especially those of Kashyap gotra, were rewarded by Akbar for their valor. Despite later forced conversions under Aurangzeb, they remained resolute in their faith. Raja Pratap Singh Bahadur, a significant figure in the 19th century, exemplified bravery and strategic acumen during the 1857 Indian Rebellion. Known for his technical ingenuity, he constructed a unique type of gun and mobilized local leaders against British forces. His efforts, alongside other Hindu and Muslim feudal lords, reflect the complex and multifaceted resistance during the Indian freedom struggle.
