The Sepoy Uprising, which took place in India in 1857 - 58, is seen as one of the most shocking insurrections to take place against a colonial power during the 19th century. Although the uprising was ultimately unsuccessful, it fundamentally changed the nature of British rule in the subcontinent and is sometimes known, in India, as the First War of Independence.

The phrase to "bite the bullet" is said to have evolved from the British expression "to bite the cartridge" referring to the reloading method of the new Pattern 1853 Enfield rifled musket during the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857.

He managed to convey the East India Company had natural rights to India and supported by Indians and Indian freedom fighters were 'rebels' when even the British Imperial rule was not even there to justify calling these local leaders rebels! The East India company had by then precipitated 3 large scale famine in occupied territory when they forced Bengali farmers to plant only 'Blue' instead of food.

The cartridge wasn't the only problem. Sure it acted as the spark of the revolt, but the oppressive policies of the East India Company was the reason why the revolt had immense support and reached extensively to many parts of the subcontinent. The major reason was the complete and wanton destruction of the traditional economic system that existed in India by the English. This led to impoverishment of farmers, artisans and handicraftsmen. Also the land revenue tax and policies were greatly inequitable and vexatious. Corruption was rampant in the Company's ranks.

India tries to make this war propaganda. In reality, it's the same as the China-Boxer rebellion (and the fall of Burma's last dynasty) which a stupid ruler made a grave mistake. Those locals will foreigner as barbaric. And want to keep their old outdated value. The Ruler who lived their entire life in comfort never knew the terror of progress. When their profits were reduced, these people would stupidly wake up an unwinnable war on their own.

Interestingly, I had also observed the same thing for the American war of 1861-65. There, Northerners call it 'Civil War' because, according to them CSA was a part of the USA. South calls it the 'war of Northern aggression' because Lincoln raised an Army to invade CSA. The West, however, calls it 'a little misunderstanding between states'

i am an Indian, but I disagree on the war being termed as a war of Independence as the whole country was not completely united, for example, the Madras Armies and the ones who took the sides of the British etc. We even had like a debate in our high school regarding this, people do have different opinions Haha.

@@babyyoda1046 True that the entire geographical Indian subcontinent of today did not participate, but most of it did. And that was for the first time. Moreover, let's add one more perspective to it: It was the first time that Indians were fighting for India. What I mean to state is Muslims in Kanpur were ok with the rule of Shrimant Nana Sahib, Hindus of Oudh were fighting for their Muslim Nawab. And the entire country, irrespective of their religion, fought for the rule of Bahadur Shah Zafar. Entire India broadly wanted to be ruled by Indians, no matter who they are. That is why it was India's war of independence

This video was perfectly balanced both on Indian as well as British side. Being an indian we are always told about the killings done by the Britishers but never told about the brutality of the sepoys. This video cleary states what a great channel Simple History is. Thank Simple History for this video.

That was the immediate cause of the uprising. There was also an underlying dissatisfaction against the british because of the atrocities faced by Indians..also most Hindus at that time and even today are vegetarians and consider Cow holy. This is not just any reason but a big valid reason for sepoy mutiny.

@adityaganjoomech Жыл бұрын

According to many accounts, this was NOT the cause, but the trigger for rising - thus causing the revolution before the planned date. If you look at the planning, the scale, the involvement etc. of the revolution, you'll find it acceptable that the revolution was planned years in advance. According to the accounts of Veer Savarkar in his book The First War of Indian Independence 1857, the last three years were just the phase of communication and preparation. 30th May was chosen as the date of uprising. But the circumstances caused due to cartridge issue led to an immature uprising on 10th May

The cartridges did not have to be bitten. There was a new platoon drill introduced which showed how the cartridges could be torn instead. However, the rumour of the fat persisted. It is also necessary to note a difference between the balled and unballed cartridges. This a nice introduction to a very complicated issue. It must also be remembered that when the mutiny started, the Indians used the cartridges they had insisted they wouldn't use so it is a really necessary to look into history a bit deeper than just obvious issues. The blowing from guns was not a British invention - that was taken from the Mughals and it was not a common form of punishment but indiscriminate hanging was. The uprising in Lucknow was in May, many mutineers dispersed and after the Battle of Chinhat on the 30th of June, the Siege of Lucknow started and was first reinforced by Havelock and then relived by Colin Campbell in November. In Jhansi the British had been promised safe passage but were murdered in a garden outside the fort. They had taken refuge in the Fort and not killed in it.
