The Revolt of 1857 was the first major Indian resistance against the exploitation of the British in India.

Key Points

  • It is clear from all accounts that we have of 1857 that the British did not have an easy time in putting down the rebellion.
  • Before sending out troops to reconquer North India, the British passed a series of laws to help them quell the insurgency.
  • By a number of Acts, passed in May and June 1857, not only was the whole of North India put under martial law but military officers and even ordinary Britons were given the power to try and punish Indians suspected of rebellion.
  • The Supreme Council of the Governor-General in Calcutta gave extraordinary powers to Special Commissions to capture and punish rebels of the 1857 Revolt, in its Act XIV of June 1857.
  • In other words, the ordinary processes of law and trial were suspended and it was put out that rebellion would have only one punishment – death.
  • In the following years of the rebellion, Muslims were viewed with suspicion and disfavour by the Britishers.
  • Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, who was a government sub-judge in 1858, wrote a book named 'Causes of the Indian Revolt (1858)'.

  • It primarily aimed to show the loyalty of Muslims towards the Britishers.

Therefore, we can conclude that both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
