Great post Ashok bhai, nice findings.
I like the article that was posted in telegraphindia.com.

Here are some of the lines:

For capital, 1857 once more.

Mobs of stone-throwing, bus-burning Gujjar young men blocked traffic on every major road out of Delhi today, presenting the capital its most complete siege in living memory.

But what neither the police nor residents had prepared for was the scale of the Gujjar onslaught that followed.

“Sare road bandh kar diye hain inhone. Aisa attack to sirf suna tha 1857 ke bare me (they’ve blocked all the roads into Delhi. One had heard of such attacks only in relation to 1857),” says a policemen, his voice muffled by the handkerchief covering his face to save him from the fumes.

In 1857, it was the British laying siege to the rebels, who included the Gujjars, holed up in Delhi. It’s the Gujjars ringing the capital now as India commemorates 150 years of that first war of independence.
