The Indian uprising of 1857, is known as the War of Independence. This was a rebellion against the British colonialism. The war started on May 10, 1857 when the Indian sepoys/soldiers in Meerut rebelled against the new cartridges.
The cartridges were made up of pig and cow fat, which the Hindus and Muslims could not use due to religious reasons. Cow is sacred to Hindus, while pig is forbidden to Muslims.
The war ended in Gwalior on June 20, 1858. The British Army against the rebels was greater in number and had more ammunition. They put the rebellious sentiments by targeting the Indians in small groups. Slowly, the Indians lost unity and the war was lost.
With the victory over the Indians, the British had a stronghold over the populace. The Indians were arrested the Indian rebels, who were tortured until the main organisers of the revolt were caught and tried.
This badly affected the relations between the British and Indians. The Indians were not given opportunities to work. Their businesses were closed as well. The Indians were pushed to the verge that they had to serve the British as slaves. The loss of the war devalued the image of the Indians in front of the British rulers.
The British kept an eye on the activities of the Indians. They had no proper social life.
This reduced the unity of the people; Hindus and Muslims grew apart and each group tried maintaining better relations with their rulers in order to get out of the social and economic turmoil.
