Impact on British rule:
➞The administration was taken over from East India Company and the power was transferred to the British Crown under the Government of India Act, 1858. Later on Queen Victoria took the title of “Empress of India" and a cabinet post “Secretary of State for India" was established.
➞The policy of Doctrine of Lapse and other such polices used for annexing princely states were abandoned as British realised the importance of loyal princess as a safety valve againt a popular revolt.
➞The number of British soilders in the Army was increased significantly as it were the sepoys who had started the “mutiny" (the term prefered by British).
Though the struggle of 1857 failed, it created a long lasting effect. As a consequence of these revolts the rule of East India Company ended and the Queen of Britain took over the reign of India. In 1858 queen Victoria of Britain made a proclamation that there would be no more interference into the religious freedom of Indians. The struggles of 1857-58 further lead to the rise of Modern National Movement. It proved to be an eternal inspiration for the future wars of independence.
