1857 ki kranti
The 1857 revolution, also known as the First War of Indian Independence or the Sepoy Mutiny, was an uprising against British rule in India. It was sparked by widespread discontent among Indian soldiers, or sepoys, in the British East India Company's army regarding new rifles and their cartridges coated in animal fat, against religious beliefs of Hindu and Muslim sepoys. Key leaders of the revolt included Bahadur Shah Zafar II, Rani Laxmi Bai, Tatya Tope, Nana Sahib, and others. The revolt was suppressed by the British and resulted in severe repression, including mass executions and confiscation of property. The British government took over direct control of India from the East India Company and strengthened their grip on the country.
