Question

what were the results of revolt of 1857

Answer 1

Thus British government passed Government of India Act 1858 on August 2, 1858, according to which the power that the company enjoyed was snatched and a direct rule was established. The British government was now established. The British was now directly responsible for ruling India
Policies were made to protect landlords and zamindars and give them security of rights over their lands.
Muslims were considered to be responsible for the rebellion in a big way. Hence their land and property was confiscated on large scale.
A new agrarian policy was introduced to guarantee security of tenure and to fix rent for lands. This policy freed the cultivators from tedious settlements and excessive demands of the state. The financial system was also decentralized by entrusting some items of taxation to local governments.
