The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a major uprising in India between 1857–58 against the rule of the British East India Company, which functioned as a sovereign power on behalf of the British Crown. The event is known by many names, including the Sepoy Mutiny, the Indian Mutiny, the Great Rebellion, the Revolt of 1857, the Indian Insurrection, and India's First War of Independence.
All the British historians, in particular. Sir John Lawrance and Seelay are of the view that it was a sepoy mutiny as the sepoys refused to use the greased cartridges of the Enfield rifles and opposed the move.
An anxious conscious attempt on the part of the British to minimize the grievances of Indians and to restrict it only to a section of army’s revolt.

The Revolt of 1857 was called the 'Sepoy Mutiny' by the British authorities, while Indian historians call it the 'First War of Independence'.
The revolt began with a mutiny of sepoys, but soon transformed into a popular revolt when people from different sections of society spontaneously joined in. This is evident from the fact that out of estimated 1,50,000 people killed in the revolt, 1,00,000 were civilians.
Although the concept of loyalty towards the country had not yet developed in India, the Indians did unite under Bahadur Shah ll for a short while to win freedom from foreign rule. This supports the argument that the revolt was indeed a war of independence.
