The results of the revolt of 1857 on Rajputana: 

1. The Indian states’ rulers were rewarded by the British government after the revolt of 1857, because the rulers of the Rajputana had been helpful to them. Now, a change was seen in British government policy. 

2. The ban on adoption of a heir was abolished to please the rulers of the Indian states. 

3. The facility for English education to the princes was provided. 

4. Now, the states directly came under the control of the British government instead of the East India Company. 

5. After revolt the western style was seen in the life of the state rulers and the officers. Now, they began to praise the British way of life and administration. They now felt proud to be in the service of the British empire.

6. The Aristocrats (feudals) had openly opposed the British rule. So, after revolt the British government’s policy was to abolish the existence of (feudalism). They tried to destroy the prestige of the Jagirdars in the eyes of the public. The feudals were compelled to pay their soldiers in cash. Their judicial rights were cut short. Special rights earlier provided to the feudals were also taken back.

7. After revolt of 1857, a network of metalled roads and railways developed rapidly throughout Rajputana. This step made transportation easy and comfortable. Educational facilities were provided to the middle-class people of the society. So, the Britishers created an educated group of persons among Rajputana society. They created a new group of educated and logical minded people,who could be the Britishers. 

8. The British government adopted a policy of giving protection and encouragement to the vaishya community (business class) to strengthen the economy of the state of Rajputana. Later,the Vaishya community in Rajputana became more influential. 

9. The British government had developed the concept that Indian masses were frightened by tyranny and looting ways of the Mughals and the Marathas and they felt safe and secure under British administration. The revolt of 1857 proved that the concept they cherished was baseless.

It clearly proved that Indians could not bear the yoke of slavery for long. They wanted to live a free and independent life. They were the lovers of freedom for which they could sacrifice anything. They could not tolerate foreign rule. So the struggle for freedom continued in spite of failure of 1857 revolution.
