ABSTRACT
Indur, the capital of Holkar’s widely scattered dominions, which was the next scene of mutiny and massacre, is 400 miles south of Agra and 40 miles north of the Narbada River. Early in July 4000 mutinous Sipahis, 1500 horsemen, with 16 guns from Central India, including battalion of the Gwaliar Contingent, which had gone to Dholpar with the Bengal troops, after their mutiny at Nimach, advanced from Fathpur-Sikri on Agra. The Native battalions at Agra had been disarmed and disbanded on May 31, and the Brigadier commanded 560 European infantry, a squadron of officers and civilians 160 strong, a small Militia battalion and a battery. The Staff work of the Agra garrison must have been very badly done, for a major of the Militia battalion, who had been on picket during the night of October 9–10, reported, when he came off duty, that the enemy was advancing, and had fired on his scouts.
