What values were violated by the Britishers during 1857 Revolt?
Answers
Answer:
The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a major, but ultimately unsuccessful, uprising in India in 1857–58 against the rule of the British East India Company, which functioned as a sovereign power on behalf of the British Crown.[4][5] The rebellion began on 10 May 1857 in the form of a mutiny of sepoys of the Company's army in the garrison town of Meerut, 40 mi (64 km) northeast of Delhi. It then erupted into other mutinies and civilian rebellions chiefly in the upper Gangetic plain and central India,[a][6][b][7] though incidents of revolt also occurred farther north and east.[c][8] The rebellion posed a considerable threat to British power in that region,[d][9] and was contained only with the rebels' defeat in Gwalior on 20 June 1858.[10] On 1 November 1858, the British granted amnesty to all rebels not involved in murder, though they did not declare the hostilities to have formally ended until 8 July 1859. Its name is contested, and it is variously described as the Sepoy Mutiny, the Indian Mutiny, the Great Rebellion, the Revolt of 1857, the Indian Insurrection, and the First War of Independence.

idk if it is wrong bro
Explanation:
The 1857 revolt, also known as the 'Sepoy Mutiny' or the 'First War of Indian Independence,' was a severe setback to the British East India Company, which had established its rule over most parts of India. The Britishers were surprised by the extent of solidarity displayed by the Indian soldiers who revolted against the British officers. When the rebellion spread to other parts of India from Meerut, the Britishers struggled to form the fighting forces. However, they managed to get support from most of the princely states and aristocrat Indians. The rebellion offered stiff resistance to the British forces. However, for various reasons, the 1857 revolt lasted only for a year.
