Even though Veer Surendra Sai was a great Indian fighter his name is virtually unknown to many Indians.Veer Surendra Sai was a direct descendant of Madhukar sai, king of Sambalpur; therefore he was eligible as a candidate to be crowned as king of Sambalpur after the demise of King Maharaja Sai in 1827. But, British Empire did not accept this and ignored his claim for succession. This is when began the ‘resistance’ movement in Odisha and Surendra Sai’s journey of becoming a hero for all of us.
