Why did the Indian soldiers take part in the Revolt of 1857 A.D.?

Answer»

Following are the reasons of taking part of Indian soldiers in the Revolt of 1857 A.D. :

  1. In 1856, one law was passed according to which soldiers could be sent beyond the sea in a war. But in Hindu religion, it was considered that going beyond the sea is against religion.
  2. Indian soldiers were badly treated during the Parade. It was unbearable for the Indian soldiers to tolerate this disrespect.
  3. Indian soldiers were given very less salary as compared to the British soldiers. That’s why resentment spread among them.
  4. The British officers disrespected the culture of Indian soldiers in front of them. Indian soldiers wanted to take revenge of this disrespect.
