Indian Rebellion of 1857, part of the reset wars?
recently ran into this conflict and the imagery from this conflict just screams Tartarian reset to me. all these beautiful palaces completely destroyed and some of them are clearly mudflooded.
the first image is a painting of 5th Bengal European Cavalry Winning the Victoria Cross at Khurkowdah, the wikipedia article didn't provide many details on the painting itself. i suspect it might depict something else happening in the scene.
the second image is the bank of Delhi after being destroyed by mortars and gunfire, it's very roman and ancient looking if you ask me.
the third image is The interior of the Secundra Bagh, several months after its storming during the second relief of Lucknow. again very roman looking. also wikipedia didn't offer much details for that either, only that it is the "interior" meaning that the building has many other parts to it. wonder what they looked like.
the fourth and fifth images are The Mutiny Memorial in Delhi, the base looks very ancient but the tower itself looks a lot cleaner. it could have been built on that place with old world technology after the reset but i suspect that it was already there and they simply refurbished it for the inheritors.
the sixth and seventh images are The Bibighar Well memorial site. i mean that's just amazing, how something like that could even exist in India? it's almost getting to the area of a major slip up in my opinion.
the eighth image is The Flagstaff Tower, Delhi. it looks very ancient and it's proportions are off (especially for a western building) like it's supposed to be way taller than that. i'm calling 100% mudflooded on that.
the final image is The Relief of Lucknow by Thomas Jones Barker. i don't even know what to say about that, that city is tartarian af. it's filled with western buildings that look very ancient and those grand palaces are amazing. looks to be very mudflooded as well. modern Lucknow looks nothing like that btw.
and i know that some of you are going to say "of course the british built that, they had tons of slave labor they could use for anything they wished." and you have a point there, but building this kind of architecture requires both infrastructure and skilled labor. you need advanced tools and machinery to work the stone into beautiful shapes, you need energy- and maintenance infrastructure to keep those tools and machines in good shape and running, you need proper road infrastructure to move the building materials and machines to the construction sites and you need actually skilled people to run these machines, maintain them, design the buildings and make sure that they are both safe to use and work well in the functions they were designed to do and people who are capable of putting them together. now i don't mean to be racist here or anything like that, but when looking at modern india i really don't think india during the time of british occupation would have had any of that and setting all of this up would have been a massive undertaking for the colonial overlords.
this has been a very surface-level look into the conflict and mostly focuses on the very apparent tartarian stuff going on with the conflict, i believe that there is more to this and encourage you too to research it any way you can.
