heya....ur answer. ....
Added to thepolitical and administrative distrust and hatred, the economic exploitation, the social and religious discrimination of superiority complex viewing the Indians as racially inferior and culturally backward and their belief that God had created the white men to civilize the Indians and intolerance of the idolatry of the Hindus by the Christian missionaries also created distrust between the natives and the British.
_____________________
The British were so arrogant and haughty, that a police regulation published by a magistrate at Agra categorically states “Every native, whatever his pretended rank may be, ought to be compelled, under heavy penalties, to salaam all English gentlemen in the streets and if the native is on horseback or in a carriage, to dismount and stand in a respectful attitude until the European has passed him.”
Further, the missionary activities of charitable and philanthropic nature were looked with suspicion as the missionaries used to heckle the Hindus for worshipping many gods and goddesses, and their efforts to convert to Christianity many economically and socially backward community people and in their educational institutions they began to openly canvas about Christianity.
All these made the Indians come to the conclusion that their religion was in danger and this suspicion aroused the religious and social sentiment of the Hindus against the British. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan admits that during the famines of 1837, many orphans became Christians.
Further, the contents of the letter of Mr. Edmund, a missionary also strengthened the apprehensions of the Hindus. The letter reads as follows: “As all India obeyed one government as in all parts of the country kept up constant communication with the other by means of the electric telegraph – and as the Railway system united the extremes of the Peninsula, it was necessary that there should be one religion also, and therefore that everyone should embrace Christianity”.

This attitude of the English gave fear in the minds of the Indians that they may converted into Christianity (b) Abolition of Social Customs and Traditions : The practice of sati was abolished, polygamy, child-marriage and infanticide were prohibited, widow-remarriage was legalized. So the Maulvis and Pandits began to raise the cry “Our religion and customs are in grave danger”. The people also believed that the government was unnecessarily interfering in their social and economic matter...
(c) Introduction of Telegraph and Railways : The English introduced telegraph and railways in India to quicken their administrative works in an eminent way.

This had created suspicion and fear in the minds of people.
