Explanation:
The Revolt of 1857 is also called the Sepoy Mutiny or India's First War of Independence. It was started on 10 May 1857 at Meerut, as a mutiny of sepoys of the British East India Company's army.
It was a prolonged period of armed uprising as well as rebellions in Northern and Central India against British occupation of that part of the subcontinent .It was not mere a product of Sepoy but was accumulated grievances of the people against the Company’s administration and of their dislike for the foreign regime.
