U Tirot Sing is one of the most celebrated freedom fighters to have risen out of the Khasi Hills.
The Anglo-Khasi war was fought and Tirot and his band of faithful followers used guerilla tactics to evade and strike the militarily superior colonial forces - a battle between guns on one side, and swords and arrows on the other side. After four years of struggle and a breach of trust amongst his own camp, he was eventually captured and sent to a Dhaka prison where he died in 1835.
The Tirot Sing Cave is an important memorial of this vivid, brutal, and often-ignored chapter of sub-continental history.
