Question

War of Independence achieved nothing? Do you agree

Answer 1

The war of independence 1857 was a failure. The uprising was successfully crushed by the British troops in all parts of India within a few months. Countless Indians lost their lives. Muslims were victims of worst atrocities after the war ended because the British blamed them responsible for the revolt. They were hanged in large number; their properties were confiscated and many were driven out of jobs. The war brought utter destruction to the still existing powerless Mughal King and the symbolic Mughal Empire....
thank you

Answer 2

The WOI 1857 achieved nothing for Indians who were defeated and crushed by British. Delhi was captured eventually. Later Lucknow, Kanpur, Allahbad, Gawalior and Jhansi were brought under full control of British. The plan and effort of Indian rebel forces to throw the British out of India failed badly. By July 1858 all uprising was suppressed and the British had brought the whole of India under their control. *
