HEYA HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
The major setback for the Muslim community resulting from the 1857 revolt was psychological more than the political, social and economic repercussions that followed.
Over the course of a century that began with the defeat at the Battle of Plassey 1757, the rulers were dragged down with each successive battle replaced by British controlled puppets. Nawabs of Bengal, Oudh, Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan of Mysore were beaten, Nizam of Hyderabad willingly entered the subsidiary Alliance turning a British supporter, the Mughal emperor had the title but none of the associated prestige or holdings.
Yet he was a symbol, a last remainder of once glorious past. The revolt violently stripped that last vestige of pride from the Muslims. Bahadur Shah was forced to witness the heads of his sons served up on a platter, exiled to Rangoon, dying a broken man.
With their pride destroyed the muslims found solace in religion leading to increased religious fervor, religious purification and jihad. The Bengal Army that formed the majority of mutineers was cut to size with the Sikh, Gurkha, Jat regiments rewarded for their part in revolt suppression with the title of ‘martial race’, increased recruitment and better opportunities.
Bengal was left to rot, partitioned, put back, divided on communal lines, the once literary and economic powerhouse a shadow of its former self with illiteracy and unemployment rampant.
Persian was replaced by English or by local languages ruining the sole livelihood of many muslims with the introduction of English and the vernacular speeding up the process.
