explain me why frist war of independencs happened in history
Answers
Answer:
India's first war of independence, better known as the Indian Rebellion of 1857, began on this day, May 10 in the year 1857. The first martyr of the revolt was Mangal Pandey and the war was the result of accumulation of many factors over time.
The rebellion of 1857 is considered the first blow that came to shatter the British rule in India. Some of the other rebellions and leaders included Rani Lakshmibai, Kunwar Singh, Bahadur Shah, Nana Saheb, Tatia Tope and Begum Hazrat Mahal.
Causes of the revolt:
There was discrimination among the British and Indian soldiers. It has been believed that the behavior of British soldiers towards Indian soldiers was quite rude
By January 1857, rumours had been taking rounds that the English cartridges were greased with animal fat. This was further sparked when during a fight, a low-caste sepoy taunted a high caste sepoy for 'losing his caste' after biting the cartridge as they were greased with the fat of pigs and cows
There had also been rumours that the British were trying to destroy the religions of the Indian people
One of the other reasons was the introduction of a new land revenue system which snatched the land from cultivators.
