Explanation:

In Indian History, the Revolt of 1857 was an important event. It was a brave effort by the unhappy sepoy to defeat the Colonial Government from Indian soil but it ended in failure because of the following reasons:

• There was no planning and organization. The risings at various places were unconstrained and separated.  

• The leader’s aims were different. Their only common aim was the annoyed against the British government.  
• The rebels battle with old weapons while the British used all new and modern weapons.  
• The revolt did not extend to all over the regions of the country. The rulers of Kashmir, Rajasthan and Patiala did not support the rebels but they helped the British government.  
• The Revolt of 1857 was localized and poorly organized.  
• It remained limited to Northern and Center India only.
