Answers
Answer:
Three differences were:
(i) Shahjahanabad was crowded with mohallas, and several dozen bazaars. But New Delhi was not crowded nor were there mazes of narrow bylanes.
(ii) Shahjahanabad was not established in a planned manner while New Delhi was beautifully planned.
(iii) There was chaos everywhere in Shahjahanabad. But New Delhi represented a sense of law and order.
The new cartridges were suspected of being coated with the fat of cows and pigs. Both Hindus and Muslim sepoys were offended by the introduction of these cartridges. Their religious sentiments were affected, and this was the reason they refused to use the cartridges. They felt that the British were trying to insult their religion.
