Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Indian Rebellion, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny, was a mostly uncoordinated but still significant revolt within the Indian army against British rule. It began in 1857 and was sparked by a variety of factors, including resentment over British attempts to convert soldiers to Christianity and the use of cow and pig fat in rifle cartridges, which offended both Hindu and Muslim soldiers. The rebellion spread quickly throughout northern India and was eventually put down by British forces, but it marked a turning point in India's struggle for independence. Neither A nor B is accurate as Sikhs and Gurkhas did not lead the movement as a religious one, and it was not a rebellion of India's Hindus against the Muslim Mughal dynasty.
