The ishtahars (proclamations) issued during the Revolt of 1857, such as the Azamgarh Proclamation, often invoked the past, particularly the Mughal era, to highlight a period where different communities (Hindus and Muslims) co-existed harmoniously and prospered under a common rule, contrasting it with the divisive policies of the British.

Rebel leaders sought to unite diverse groups against British rule by recalling a shared past of communal harmony.

These proclamations appealed to both Hindus and Muslims, reminding them of how they had lived together peacefully under the previous rulers (referring to the Mughals, though Mughal authority was waning) and how the British were disrupting their way of life and unity.
