The 1857 revolt was not to be understood as mere independent struggle rather it has multiple facets . The clash between various interest groups such as peasants vs traders, commoner vs aristocracy , along with caste and religious sentiments fueled the atmosphere resulting in 1857 mutiny.
It is not entirely factual that educated Indians did not support the revolt rather fierce articles were written in the leading urdu dailies such as syed ul akhbari in support of the revolutionaries
