What was the result of revolt of 1857?
Answers
An uprising in several sepoy companies of the Bengal army was sparked by the issue of new gunpowder cartridges for the Enfield rifle in February 1857. Loading the Enfield often required tearing open the greased cartridge with one's teeth, and many sepoys believed that the cartridges were greased with cow and pig fat. The Revolt saw the end of the company rule and the administration of India was passed onto the british crown. The revolt of 1857 suffered from a weak leadership. It was not planned and organized. There was a clear lack of unity among the rebels and there was no common purpose among them during the revolt of 1857. Also, the rulers of Kashmir, Gwalior, and Hyderabad helped the British against the revolt.
