Question

when was the 1857 uprising supposed to have begun?​

Answer 1

Answer:

On May 9, 1857, exactly 163 years ago, a group of Indian soldiers (called 'sepoys' after sipahi, the Hindustani word for soldier) in Meerut killed their British superiors and threw the jails open. The following day, they would begin a march to Delhi.

Answer 2

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. The revolt did not spread to all the parts of India instead it was confined to the Northern and Central India.
