The Indian Rebellion of 1857 occurred as the result of an accumulation of factors over time, rather than any single event. The major events to constitute to it were as follows:
1. The doctrine of Lapse: The Company had interfered with a traditional system of inheritance in the name of Doctrine of Lapse, which refused to recognise the adopted children of princes as legal heirs. Many of the Nobility had lost titles and domains under the Doctrine of Lapse and felt that the company had taken away their birthright.
2. Company Rules and Regulations: The second group, the taluqdars, had lost half their landed estates to peasant farmers as a result of the land reforms that came in the wake of annexation. It has also been suggested that heavy land-revenue assessment in some areas by the British resulted in many landowning families either losing their land or going into great debt to money lenders and providing ultimately a reason to rebel; money lenders, in addition to the Company, were particular objects of the rebels' animosity.
3. A general Anger: The justice system was considered to be inherently unfair to the Indians. The official Blue Books, *East India (Torture) 1855–1857*, laid before the House of Commons during the sessions of 1856 and 1857, revealed that Company officers were allowed an extended series of appeals if convicted or accused of brutality or crimes against Indians.
4. The insecurity of losing religion: There was a common resentment against social changes that British tried to bring with abolishing Sati, child marriage and promotion of education of the Girl Child which made Indians feel a change in their age-old religious beliefs and thus it was taken as a step to increase conversions to Christianity. The Indian of those times would prefer dying instead of changing their religion. Not that there were any inferences of conversion but the feeling of insecurity itself raise the tension got multiplied becoming one of the prominent reasons for the revolt of 1857 or the sepoy mutiny or the first war of independence.
5. The grease on the cartridge: The final spark was provided by the ammunition for the new Enfield P-53 rifle. These rifles, which fired Minié balls, used paper cartridges that came pre-greased. To load the rifle, sepoys had to bite the cartridge open to release the powder. The grease used on these cartridges was rumoured to include tallow derived from beef, which would be offensive to Hindus, and pork, which would be offensive to Muslims.
In August 1856, greased cartridge production was initiated at Fort William, Calcutta, following a British design. The grease used included tallow supplied by the Indian firm of Gangadarh Banerji & Co. By January, rumours were abroad that the Enfield cartridges were greased with animal fat which resulted in the fury of both Hindus and Muslims and played a part in a unification of both and the idea fighting against the common enemy was established.
The uprising was not organised and was more a chain reaction. Event after event as the message passed people took to arms in lieu of their own reasons as stated above and it is important to note here that the reason the Uprising failed was many Rajas including The Royal Army which constitutes majorly of Indians did not take to arms, in fact, they fought against their own country to repress the uprising.
The prominent rulers who fought for the uprising were:
Rani Laxmibai ( Rani of Jhansi )
Tanya tope
Mangal Pandey
Hakim Ahsanullah (Advisor of Bahadur Shah 2)
Bakht Khan
Bahadur Shah 2
Nana Sahib
Begum Hasarat Mahal
Babu Kumar Singh
Drig Narayan Singh
Jung Bahadur Rana
Maulvi Ahmadullah Shah
Veer Kunwar Singh
