SHORT ARTICLE :

The British Government had already established its dominance on India’s economy, politics, and culture by 1820. But soon, they started oppressing the Indians who they considered much inferior to them. The Hindu society was being transformed by introducing Western concepts being constantly introduced through Missionaries and officials.

The officers of East India Company working under the British Crown started replacing the aristocracy of the Indian princely states. This was done by introducing several tactics. One of those popular unfair tactics was introducing the Doctrine of Lapse that stated the abdication of land when a king without a male natural heir dies.

Many such reasons were behind what ignited the fire of rebel in the Indian public, but the controversy involving the use of Enfield rifle worked as the last spark of fire to the hay.

The issue was that the ends of the bullets used in the newly introduced Enfield rifle needed to be torn off using teeth. But these bullets were lubricated or greased using cow’s and pig’s lard. And having oral contact with cow’s and pig’s lard was against the religious beliefs of Hindu and Muslims, respectively.

Since the British officials ignored the discomfort, this issue caused the Indians to serve in their army and enraged the public. It was a matter of time that many such discontents build up to become a unified, strong objective for rebelling against the British Rule.

Indian soldiers from across India took part in the Rebellion of 1857, and the lives of many British officers were taken in this while. But soon, the British Government found a way to suppress this nationwide revolt by convincing Sikh and Madrasi soldiers to fight on their behalf. Even though the Rebellion of 1857 turned out to be a failure, but it left a deep impact that forced the British Government to bring certain changes.
