Answer 2

Answer:

Political

The administration of India now passed from the English East India Company to the British crown by the Government of India Act, 1858. A Secretary of State of India was appointed in England. He was to be assisted by a 15- member advisory council. The Queen’s Proclamation also promised to discontinue the practice of annexation, and recognize adoption. Religious freedom was also assured. The proclamation also assured political reforms which were fulfilled to some extent by the 1861 Councils Act.

Military

The military administration was strengthened. The numbers of European troops were increased and all artillery units were placed in European hands. The different classes of sepoys were mixed. All important posts in the army were reserved for the English.

Social

The English felt that their social reforms were a cause for the Revolt. So they began to tread cautiously in this regard. They also started encouraging such social conservatives against nationalists during the freedom movement. It also increased racial bitterness between the English and Indians.

Economic

The Revolt also brought massive economic destruction. Delhi, Lucknow, Kanpur were completely destroyed. The public debt of the country rose by about 98 million sterling.
