During the revolt, the defeat of the British forces in a number of battles caused a number of uprisings against the British in various Indian states. A widespread popular rebellion developed in the region of Awadh in particular. The villages took to arms and the landlords led them. After the defeat of the rebel forces, the British had a two-pronged strategy to suppress the rebels and the rebellion. On the one hand, they tried and hanged a number of rebel leaders who had challenged their authority and could do so again in the future. On the other hand, they tried their best to win back the loyalty of the people. They announced reward for loyal landowners. They were assured that they would be allowed to continue to enjoy traditional rights over their lands. Those who had rebelled were told that if they submitted to the British, and if they had not killed any white people, they would remain safe and their rights and claims to land would not be denied.

Explanation:
The Indian revolt of 1857 in India was caused by political, economic, social & religious, & military causes such as inequality in the salaries and benefits given to Indian and their British counterparts. The British were, however, able to revolt due to several reasons.
1. First, the uprising failed to present all sections of the society where it was mainly restricted to North India. Hence, the region beyond the river Narmada remained unobstructed.
2. The revolt was also poorly organized, that is to say, its leaders lacked coordination and planning.
3. The British employed the use of superior weapons to suppress the revolt. Besides, having modern means of transport and communication.
4. The rebels, on the other hand, lacked a common cause for the rebellion, in addition to which they had different goals.
At least, the revolution resulted in policy changes, administrative changes, reorganization of the army and communal & racial bitterness.
