Question

why did the British treat the Muslims harshly immediately after the uprising of 1857

Answer 1

The 1857 War of Independence to us or Mutiny infront of the Raj (British) changed perceptions of how India ought to be ruled by the Raj. However, it’s absolutely ridiculous to say that the British treated Muslims badly as opposed to Hindus in-fact, the Raj (British) employed, old ‘divide and rule’ policy and classed ethnicities in India as Martial Race; Rebel Tribe etc and ruled with a simple policy of , ‘divide and rule’.

Elements of this technique involve:

creating or encouraging divisions among the subjects to prevent alliances that could challenge the sovereign

aiding and promoting those who are willing to cooperate with the sovereign

fostering distrust and enmity between local rulers

encouraging meaningless expenditures that reduce the capability for political and military spending

Muslims were pitched against Hindus and in-fact Muslims, Sikhs were given encouraged to get more westerned as compared to Hindus.
