Why did the Revolt of 1857 failed?
Answers
- The Revolt of 1857 was localized and poorly organized. Due to lack of communication facilities, the sepoys of the widely dispersed cantonments could not act simultaneously in a concerted manner. The revolt did not spread to wider regions of the country.
Explanation:
The Revolt of 1857 failed Because:
The revolt failed to spread over the whole of India and was limited only to the northern and Central parts of India.
Most leaders of the revolt could not match the dynamics and able leadership the British.
The leaders were motivated by their personal gains, rather than love for their country, so many of them also lack forersight and determination.
The rebels had no centralised planning or coordinated plans and also they failed to capitalise on their gains.
The Indians fought with their outdated weapons against the sophisticated British weapons.
Also, the newly educated Indians remained unsympathetic to the revolt and many of them showed compassion and Goodwill towards the British and felt that they were required for India's progress.
