Social and Religious Causes: The British had abandoned its policy of non-interference in the socio-religious life of the Indians. Abolition of Sati (1829), Hindu Widow Remarriage Act (1856). Christian missionaries were allowed to enter India and carry on with their mission of proselytizing.

The Indian Rebellion of 1857 had diverse political, economic, military, religious and social causes.

• Due to the British expansionist policies, most of the Raja’s, Nawab’s and the zamindar’s, were either dispossessed from their state or became subsidiary to the British.
• The East India Company (EIC) had a planned way of expansionism and many Indian states easily fell prey to the policies of the East India Company.
• The policy of Trade and Commerce subjugated the state, the policy of indirect subordination (subsidiary alliance), policy of war and annexation, policy of direct subordination (doctrine of lapse), policy of misgovernance (in which Awadh was annexed).
• These policies greatly hampered the interests of the rulers of the native states, and they one by one became victims of British expansionism.
• Therefore, those rulers, who lost their states to the British, were naturally against the British and took sides against them during the revolt.
