Rajasthan Cemetery Plaque Sparks Dispute
Kota, Rajasthan– A 19 th-century plaque in a Kota burial ground is under scrutiny for its description of Indian soldiers during the 1857 Disobedience. The plaque celebrates Brevet Major Charles Aeneas Burton and his kids, that were killed during the uprising.
