A small memorial dedicated to the first breed of freedom fighters in India, led by Veer Surendra Sai. They were simple tribal people who didn't like the advent of british outsiders and started their crusade aginst them as early as 1816, even before the 1857 Spoy Mutiny, which is acknowledged by many historians as the first ever instance of the Indians taking up arms against the East India Company.
