why did some of the rulers not join the revolt ? explain briefly.
Answers
The Revolt of 1857 was an important event in the History of India. It was a valiant effort by the dissatisfied sepoys to overthrow the Colonial Government from Indian soil but it ended in faliure because of the following reasons:
There was no planning and no organization. The risings at different places were loose and unconnected. Revolts at different places did not take place at the same time.
The aims of the leaders were different. Their only common aim was the anger against the foreign government. Nana Sahib wanted to restore the glory of the Peshwa; Bahadur Shah Zafar wanted to restore the glory of the Mughals.
The rebels fought with old-fashioned weapons while the British used all modern weapons. That is why the rebels had few chances of success. Moreover, we must also refer to the support given to the government by the Sikhs, the Gorkhas and the Rajputs.
