The siege of Cawnpore was a shitty episode in history.
The Indians allowed a few people to leave the city, and then killed them anyway. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Cawnpore#Satichaura_Ghat_massacre
This isn't to say that the behavior of the Brits in colonial India was permanently above reproach...
