according to latest research Subathu was also also a centre of 1857 mutiny. One Ramprsad Bairagi inspierd the indian sepoys to agitate against the British. Some og the brave sepoys had to face 'balidan' in this khud. That is why it is known as Kuhni khud.

  • thanks for providing the information which even most of the people in this area dont know.....from child hood i used to wonder why its named khuni khad
  • in fact I am working over a book named -Rebellion in the Hills. This will carry the old history of Subathu including the mutiny days. For reference you acn read my article in The Tribune dated May 10,2007 under the same heading. The Tribune had brought a supplement on 18th anniversary of 1857 mutiny. The article can be seen at Tribuneindia.com site.You can open it and find a mention to the supplement given in a panel on the right hand side.
