Expecting a backlash, they prepared to face the British. They put up a board reading, \u2018Swaraj Sarkar\u2019 and hoisted the tricolour. When British officials tried to enter Issuru, there was a \u2018riot\u2019 which led to the death of a revenue officer and a revenue \u2018amaldar\u2019. Red-faced, the British government sent police troops to reclaim the village. Such was the audacity of Issuru\u2019s revolutionaries that they even penalised British officials who disobeyed their orders and entered the village.&nbsp;Issuru paid a price for the rebellion \u2014 five youth were hanged and hundreds were imprisoned.Credited as the first village in India to start a \u201cprati sarkaar\u201d (provisional government) in 1942, the story of Issuru\u2019s rebellion is one that took the nation by storm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The village that declared freedom in 1942.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2159,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[100,95],"tags":[103],"class_list":["post-2158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrating-unsung-heroes","category-story","tag-indian-independence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rustiktravel.com\/allindiaroadtrip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rustiktravel.com\/allindiaroadtrip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rustiktravel.com\/allindiaroadtrip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rustiktravel.com\/allindiaroadtrip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rustiktravel.com\/allindiaroadtrip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2158"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/rustiktravel.com\/allindiaroadtrip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2158\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2194,"href":"https:\/\/rustiktravel.com\/allindiaroadtrip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2158\/revisions\/2194"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rustiktravel.com\/allindiaroadtrip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rustiktravel.com\/allindiaroadtrip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rustiktravel.com\/allindiaroadtrip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rustiktravel.com\/allindiaroadtrip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
