Answer:

Here is the answer

The majority of the Indian nationals fought bravely against the rule of the foreigner but failed in their bold attempts to overthrow the British Raj. The causes of this failure are many but the important ones are discussed as below.

The foremost cause was the sudden start of the war in confusion, without any preparation or proper planning. Secondly since there was an extreme lack of communication and coordination among various groups of freedom fighters who started their uprising according to their own wishes, it became easy for the English troops to curb the revolt of different areas on by one.

Thirdly there was no experienced leader among them to lead the Indian soldiers. They had declared Mughal Emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar, their leader but instead of warfare he was devoted to poetry and was too old and incompetent to lead the revolutionaries. The British troops, on the other hand, were endowed with extremely competent generals like Edwards and Lawrence.

Fourthly, English troops were modern and strikingly advanced not only in warfare but also in new ways of swift and speedy communication. They did not have to cross long roads and grounds to deliver a message or order but could simply wire it with a few minutes. The Indians on the other hand were devoid of such means. That’s why they utterly fell behind and got defeated.
