🔥 1. First Major Revolt Against British Rule The first large-scale rebellion against the British East India Company. 📝 Called "India’s First War of Independence" by Indian nationalists; the British termed it the "Sepoy Mutiny" or "Great Rebellion". 📅 2. When Did It Start? 10 May 1857 in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. 🧨 3. Immediate Cause – Enfield Rifle Controversy New rifle cartridges were greased with cow and pig fat 🐄🐖, offending Hindu and Muslim religious beliefs. This angered sepoys and sparked the revolt. ⚠️ 4. Main Causes of the Revolt 🏛️ Political: British annexation (Doctrine of Lapse – Jhansi, Satara). Traditional rulers removed (e.g., Nana Sahib denied pension). End of Mughal dynasty announced. 💰 Economic: Harsh land revenue policies hurt farmers. Indian artisans lost jobs due to British imports. Soldiers were underpaid and mistreated. 🛕 Religious & Social: Religious interference and fear of forced conversions ✝️. Reforms seen as threats to Indian traditions. 🪖 Military: Indian soldiers faced low pay and discrimination. Religious sensitivities of high-caste sepoys were ignored. 👥 5. Key Leaders Mangal Pandey, Rani Lakshmibai, Nana Sahib, Tantia Tope, Begum Hazrat Mahal, Bahadur Shah Zafar, and more. 🌍 6. Spread of the Revolt Centered in North and Central India – Delhi, Kanpur, Lucknow, Jhansi, Gwalior. ❌ 7. Reasons for Failure No unified leadership or strategy. Poor coordination between regions.

Major administrative and military changes followed. 📢 9. Long-term Impact Inspired future freedom struggles. Led to a major shift in British governance in India. #history #facts #reels #shorts #shortsfeed #shortsvideo #viralreels #meme #trending #viral #aivideostory #reellifeelit #reelinsta #ai #aireels #AICreative #aiexplained #aigenerate #aivideo #aireels #aihistory #aiviral #fypシ #algorithm #viralpost #trendingreelsvideo #viralreels #trending #instagramreels #instagram #upscexam #upscmotivation #upsc #RevoltOf1857 #FirstWarOfIndependence #MangalPandey #RaniLakshmibai #IndianHistory
