A group of camel-breeders worship a British officer killed during the 1857 upsurge.

They offer flowers, coconuts;  light incense;  and worship with folded hands at his grave in Auwa, Rajasthan.

Capt. G.H.M. Mason of the Bengal Native Infantry, also a political agent of Jodhpur was beheaded in Sept 1857; and his head displayed at the fort's gate during a battle.


Karl Marx had then written about this episode in the New York Tribune.


The Rabadees sing songs lauding the British.
One says,"The British brought an iron cart that could run on rails without bullocks. 
Oh Britons, your skills were too great!"
