The British had to fight for two years to suppress the massive forces of the rebellion.
Answers
Answer:
The British reinforcements from England, passed new laws so that the rebels could be convicted with ease, and then moved into the main centres of the revolt; Delhi was recaptured from the rebel forces in September 1857.
The last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar was tried in court and sentenced to life imprisonment. His sons were shot dead before his eyes. He and his wife Begum Zinat Mahal were sent to prison in Rangoon in October 1858, where he died in November 1862.
The recapture of Delhi, however, did not mean that the rebellion died down after that. People continued to resist and battle the British, and the British had to fight for two years to suppress the massive forces of popular rebellion.
Lucknow was taken in March 1858, and Rani Lakshmibai was defeated and killed in June 1858. Tantia Tope escaped to the jungles of central India and continued to fight a guerrilla war with the support of many tribal and peasant leaders, but he too was captured, tried, and killed in April 1859.
Just as victories against the British had earlier encouraged rebellion, the defeat of rebel forces encouraged desertions.
The British also tried their best to win back the loyalty of the people by announcing rewards; loyal landholders, for example, were to 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.
Nevertheless, hundreds of sepoys, rebels, nawabs and rajas were tried and hanged after the Great Uprising on 1857.
