Question

how far did the revolt of 1857 disable the Britishers to carry on ruling the land with same policies ? Describe it in brief

Answer 1

Rather than disabling Revolt hastened the British control and greed for more plundering.

THE COMPANY RULE (1773–1858)

Before going to 1857 revolt its important to mention all the acts passed by Westminster parliament during the company rule.

· Regulating Act of 1773

· Pitt’s India Act of 1784

· Charter Act of 1833

· Charter Act of 1853

By these acts its clear that even though India de jure had been under the Company rule but de facto its (company’s) work is regulated by the British government.

Now Revolt of 1857 was subjugated and suppressed by British forces as they are more trained, accompanied with modern weaponry and further backed by many regional landlords and Britain forces just retreated from Crimean war supplemented as additional force to fight the revolt.
