How far were the following responsible for the great uprising of 1857:
a)The native rulers
b)The Jagirdars and the Zamindars
C)The educated Indians
D) The sepoya in the British army

Answer 1

here is your answer

- Native rulers were responsible for uprising of 1857 because because of them british got the opportunity to enter India and settle down there.
-  After the battle of Palassy, giving diwani (revenue administration) of Bengal Bihar and Orissa to East India Company on August 12, 1765 by the Mughal emperor was a turning point in Indian history as EMS Namboodiripad pointed out in his seminal work, A History of Indian Freedom Struggle. Unlike Bengal, the feudatory chiefs in Jharkhand were almost independent, maintained army and administered justice in their own territories and paid tribute at their will to Mughal emperor. After they got Diwani, to force payment of revenue and to impose subordination, East India Company launched armed campaign against the feudal chiefs of Jharkhand in 1767. The British armed campaign and armed resistance by the feudatory chiefs continued, intermittently, almost for three quarters of a century. Feuding feudal chiefs helped Company army to defeat themselves.
- educated india means educated people .and the people dont want to work under British.so they were the main reason why revolt of 1857 occurs
