Hada and Mada Miah are recorded in the legacy record as having led an armed anti-British uprising against District Collector Robert Lindsay in Sylhet in 1782.
According to the event's legacy record, Hada and Mada Miah led an uprising against Robert Lindsay, who served as the East India Company's District Collector of Sylhet from 1778 to 1790, and his contingents. The legacy record dates the uprising to December 16, 1782, and places it at the Sylhet Shahi Eidgah, but no supplied passage corroborates the uprising, the date, the site, or the participants' actions; these details rest on the legacy record rather than on retrieved evidence.
