Question

Lack of unity was one of the causes of the failure of the revolt.

True
False​

Answer 1

The revolt of 1857 suffered from a weak leadership. It was not planned and organized. There was a clear lack of unity among the rebels and there was no common purpose among them during the revolt of 1857. The revolt did not spread to all the parts of India instead it was confined to the Northern and Central India. Also, the rulers of Kashmir, Gwalior, and Hyderabad helped the British against the revolt. The lack of resources both in trained men and modern weapons made the rebels to give up the fight on many occasions. Also, many communities like Rajputs, Gurkhas, Holkars supported the British rather than taking part in the mutiny.
