After Gandhari(mother of kauravas) was married to Dhritarashtra she
wrapped a bandage over her eyes and vowed to share the darkness that her
husband lived in. Once Rishi Veda Vyas came to visit Gandhari in
Hasthinapur. where he received a great hospitality from Gandhari. Rishi
Vyasa was pleased with her hospitality and granted her a boon. Then
Gandhari wished 100 powerfull sons. Rishi Veda Vyasa granted her the
boon and in due course of time Gandhari found herself to be pregnant.
But two years passed away without the birth of baby, in the mean time
Kunti gave birth to Yudhishthira(eldest of pandavas). After two years of
pregnancy, Gandhari gave birth to a hard piece of lifeless flesh that
was not a baby at all. She was devastated about that , as she was
expecting 100 sons according to the boon given by Rishi Vyasa and was
about to throw away the piece of flesh away when Rishi Vyas appeared and
told her that his blessings could not have been in vain and asked
Gandhari to arrange for one hundred jars to be filled with Ghee (oil).
He told Gandhari that he would cut the piece of flesh into hundred
pieces and place them in the jars, which would then develop into the one
hundred sons that she so desired. Gandhari told Vyas then that she also
wanted to have a daughter. Vyas agreed and cut the piece of flesh into
one hundred and one pieces and placed them each in the jars.

This exposed British to this technology , which was then used to advance European rocketry with the development of the “Congreve rocket“. which were later used to attack french fleet in “Napoleon war“,
but were unable to point at their goals and caused no harm to enemies,
but later they were well developed and made available for modern
war-fare and many ”scientific researches”.
As the British charged on the battle field they were confronted with the
missiles, rockets landed in front and behind the British lines
completely dis orientating the soldiers . They had never seen any thing
like it , then normally unflinching British troops broke down and ran
away . The rockets had a range of about 1,000 yards. Some burst in the
air like shells. Others, called ground rockets, would rise again on
striking the ground and bound along in a serpentine motion until their
force was spent.Some of the rockets had pierced cylinders, to allow them
to act like incendiaries, while some had iron points or steel blades
bound to the bamboo. By attaching these blades to rockets they became
very unstable towards the end of their flight causing the blades to spin
around like flying scythes, cutting down all in their path
