Revolt of 1857 causes
The document summarizes the various causes that led to the revolt of 1857 in India. The economic exploitation of India by the British hurt many sections of society, while the annexation of territories displaced rulers and angered the ruling classes. Social reforms introduced by the British were seen as interference in Indian customs. Growing Christian missionary activities and conversions caused religious concerns. The Indian soldiers faced poor treatment, low pay and the introduction of greased cartridges seen as offensive to Hindus and Muslims, serving as the immediate spark for the revolt to begin.

27.4 british imperialism in india
The British East India Company expanded its control over most of India as the Mughal Empire declined. By the 1850s, the Company ruled India and maintained control through its Indian army, made up of sepoy soldiers. However, in 1857, sepoys rebelled against new Enfield rifles that required biting cartridges greased with animal fat, sparking the Sepoy Mutiny against British rule. The rebellion was crushed, and Britain took direct control over India as resentment between Indians and the British increased.

The British East India Company gradually expanded its control over India as the Mughal Empire declined in the 1700s and 1800s. Key events included Robert Clive's victory over the Nawab of Bengal at the Battle of Plassey in 1757, which established Company rule in Bengal. The Company exploited India's resources and restricted its industry. This caused economic problems and famines. It also modernized India through infrastructure projects and education. However, British policies disrespected Indian culture and oppressed the Indian people, leading to the Sepoy Mutiny against the Company in 1857.

As the Mughal Empire declined, the East India Company's power grew and it began building its own military force composed mainly of Indian soldiers led by British commanders. A key moment was the Battle of Plassey in 1757, where British forces led by Robert Clive defeated the Nawab of Bengal, establishing British political and military control over Bengal. This marked the beginning of British rule over India.

The document summarizes the causes and events of the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The main causes were political, as local leaders lost authority to the British; religious and social, as British culture threatened local faiths; economic, as high taxes burdened peasants; and military, as low pay and lack of promotion resented sepoys. In 1857, sepoys rebelled against new rifles greased with cow and pig fat. The rebellion spread from Meerut to Delhi, where many rulers joined. However, the British eventually suppressed the rebellion by 1858, imprisoning Emperor Bahadur Shah II.

British India.pptx
The British control of India began with the British East India Company, which was granted sole trading rights but later took over government as well. The British used a policy of divide and rule by favoring local rulers in exchange for trade and employing an Indian army (Sepoys) to enforce their rule. However, in 1857 a rumor spread that rifle grease offended Hindus and Muslims, leading to a Sepoy mutiny that killed British families. The British crushed the rebellion and directly ruled India until independence in 1948, during which time India became an economically vital "Jewel in the Crown" colony.

The Revolt of 1857
- 1. History THE REVOLT OF 1857
- 2. RECAP • Why REVOLTOF 1857 is called 'The FirstWar of Independence'? • As we know that, India got its independence on 15 August, 1947. • But, before that, India had struggled for almost 200 years to gain Swaraj From the Britishers. • So, the 1st revolt took place on 10 May, 1857 for gaining independence. • Sepoy means --- (soldiers) , and Mutiny --- (Revolt). • Because Indian Soldiers started the Revolt against the Britishers. • What is the difference between REVOLT and MUTINY??? • Revolt means involving mass movement. But, Sepoy means involving only soldiers.
- 3. RECAP • LONG-TERM CAUSES • 1. Battle of Plassey (1757) • This battle was fought between the forces (armies) of the Nawab of Bengal --- Siraj-ud-Daulah • and the English East India Company, led by Robert Clive. It was fought on 23 June, 1757 at • Plassey, near Murshidabad. Later, the Nawab of Bengal himself was caught and killed, • and Mir Jafar was instituted as the new Nawab of Bengal. • 2. Battle of Buxar (1764) • The Battle of Buxar was the decisive battle fought on 22 October, 1764. • It was the conflict at Buxar in North-Eastern India, between the forces of the British East • India Company, commanded by Major Hector Munro; and the combined armies of an • alliance of Indian States, including Bengal, Awadh and the Mughal Empire. • But, the Battle of Buxar was not successful.
- 4. RECAP • The Revolt of 1857 started in the town of Meerut(U.P.) 40 miles northeast of Delhi. • Between 1756-1856 A.D., there occured 12 minor revolts against The British East India • Company. • CAUSES • 1. Subsidiary Alliance • It was introduced by Lord Wellesley. Using this policy, he had acquired Hyderabad, Gwalior, Indore, Jaipur, etc. • The British East India Company promised the Indians to protect the state (India) from external dangers and internal disorders, but the Indians had to • pay a subsidy (tax) for the maintenance of the army. If they failed to make the payment required by the alliance, them part of their territory was • to be given away as a penalty to B.E.I.C.
- 5. RECAP • 2. Doctrine of Lapse • It was introduced by Lord Dalhousie. Using this policy, he had annexed Satara, Nagpur, Udaipur, Jhansi, etc. • Doctrine ---> Government policy Lapse ---> Declination of the right of ruling due to having no heirs, and adopted sons would not be specified. • 3. Unjust Annexation of Awadh and Berar • It was done by Lord Dalhousie. He had captured Awadh on pretext of maladministration of Nawab Wajid Ali Khan. • He had annexed Berar (formerly, ruled by Nizam of Hyderabad) when unable to pay the debt. • 4. Unjust Behaviour towards Mughal Emperor and Indians • Successors of Bahadur Shah Zafar were not allowed to use the title 'KING', and they would have to leave the palace (Red Fort). • British Officers were very arrogant and had hatred for Indians. Indians were not appointed on high posts in Administration.
- 6. SOCIO-RELIGIOUS CAUSES • Widow Remarriage Act was legalized. • Sati System, Female Infanticide and Child Marriage was prohibited. • Indians were feared for Mass Conversion to Christianity. • *Viceroy GovernorGeneral , who carried out actual governance. • * FirstViceroy Lord Canning.
- 7. SOME OTHER CAUSES • Peasants were forced to grow cash crops like Indigo. Due to this, the condition of Indigo Cultivators were miserable. Hence, they revolted in Bengal.And, these cultivators were known as “Blue Rebellions” (as Indigo is blue in colour). • Introduction of Railways andTelegraph caused suspicion and fear amongst people. • Loss of Employment • Soldiers, Pandits and Maulvis were jobless, because ofWestern Education. • Defeat of British in 1st Afghan War exposed Britishers’ weakness.
- 8. Immediate causes • Britishers introduced a new system of Rifles, commonly called the Enfield Rifles. • While loading them, soldiers had to bite off the end of the cartridges. • It was rumoured that it was made up of either pig or cow fat, which violated the religious sentiments of the Muslim and Hindu Soldiers.
- 9. UPRISING AT MEERUT • Mangal Pandey refused to use the greased cartridge. • And, when he was forced to do so, he flew into a rage and killed an English soldier. • For this, he was executed. • He was the FIRST MARTYR OF INDIAN UPRISING OF 1857.
- 10. Failure of the Revolt • It was not an all- India Struggle, as many states like Sind, Kashmir, Rajputana and most of Punjab did not take part in it. • All the classes of society and Indian rulers did not join the Rising. • Rebels didn’t have modern weapons. • Rebels were not properly organized and were fighting under separate leaders.
