The historian says revolt of 1857 as first war for independence because it is first war in which armed reballian at country level come in front of britishers to make India a independent country and declare the last mughal emperor king bhadur shah as emperor of India.
It is started by a spark of mangal pandey’s death, who was a sepoy in British military and he is against the british policies like
Use of meat/skin of animals in bullets, which was used in rifles of that time.British doesn't allowed Indian to a level of post in military or anywhere else either they are capable to do so.Indians are treated by British very badly.British also started to interfere by making laws relates to the cultural and religious nature of people like second marriage, sati pratha etc
In a event at that time mangal pandey shoot at a senior military person, due to that he was executed by hanging in April 1857 and after that the 1857 sepoy rebellion was started, a group of sepoy rebellions started from Meerut and then reach Delhi and declared bahadur shah the mughal emperor of that time as the emperor of India and captured Delhi and after that many kings and local people was started rebelling with British government, to support sepoy mutiny including rani of jhassi, tatya tope and many other
Althought this uprising is not successful at that time in giving independence from British, British surpassed the mutiny very brutally, after that mutiny many policy was changed by British to govern India properly,
The 1857 rebellion even dosent gives us freedom at that time, it gives a strong foundation for our upcoming freedom fighters to fight against the british with courage and finally we got independence in 1947.
Hope it helps...
