Question

which reforms were resented by Indians during the british rule and why? chapter : revolt of 1857

Answer 1

Some reforms by the British that the Indians resented are:  

# Abolishment of social reforms like Sati by the British. They felt that the British were not allowing them to follow their society’s customs.

# The new law that promoted the conversion to Christianity. This law made non Christian Indians feel that the British was trying to suppress their religion. According to the law, a person who embraced the Christianity religion was eligible to receive his ancestors’ property.

# Biting off the greased cartridge cover of the Enfield rifle for loading. The cover was supposed to be greased with the meat of cows and pigs. It was against the cultural practice of Hindus and Muslims to eat such meat.

All these reforms and more by the British triggered severe unrest among the Indians and paved way for the Great Revolt of 1857.

A section of Indians resented attempts at social reforms because they were conservatives and believed in following ancient customs and traditions. Other reason was that a group of people did not like British to interfere in Indian religious practices (by passing various laws).
