The first widespread rebellion against British rule took place in 1857 and went on till 1858. It was the result of growing resentment of people across the country with the dominance of the British. Policies of annexation like Doctrine of Lapse snatched power away from the princely states which had ruled for centuries.
The final nail in the coffin was the launch of a new Enfield rifle which required the sepoys or Indian soldiers to bite off a cartridge greased with a mixture of pigs’ and cows’ lard. This offended Hindu and Muslim soldiers alike and Mangal Pandey, a sepoy, attacked British officers in a garrison at Barrackpore in March 1857.
Revolts were seen in places such as Delhi, Agra, Kanpur and Lucknow and prominent leaders included the Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, Nana Sahib, Rani Lakshmibai and Tantya Tope .
