adjoining small hill so the height of the hill can be raised in order to fix
their canons on this hill so they could destroy the massive wall of the fort
. But none of the villager \ labor got any Mohar (Gold coin). Because as
soon as the person dumped the basket of earth on this hill he was shoot by
the Mughal soldiers hiding behind the bushes. In this way the hill was
