We think that the revolt of 1857 was a Sepoy Mutiny. We also think that religion played a huge role in theis mutiny.

The mutiny happened because of the hindu and muslim soldiers were forced to go against their religious beliefs when they needed to bite off the cartilage. This caused them to rebell against the British. However, the sikhs and gurukha soldiers were treade just fine and they did not have to go against their religious beliefs. Hence, the fought with the British against the hindu and muslim soldiers.

In our opinion the war discriminated the whole of India not only through religion but also through economy, politics and military. Indians were below the British after loss of administration and power. They were forced to fight in the army and endure acts that damaged their religious values.

We feel the mindset change was that the Indians have learned to stand up for their religious belief and wanted a change. because of this, the British had asked the puppet rulers they placed to wage war against the rebellion.
After the 'Civil War' was over the British abolished the East India English Company and took complete control over India.

We also think that the revolt is a turning point because they finally realized that they are not being treated right and the fact that there was a movement or some sort of action that was created really helped.

The immediate result of the mutiny was a general housecleaning of the Indian administration. The East India Company was abolished in favour of the direct rule of India by the British government. In concrete terms, this did not mean much, but it introduced a more personal note into the government and removed the unimaginative commercialism that had lingered in the Court of Directors. The financial crisis caused by the mutiny led to a reorganization of the Indian administration's finances on a modern basis. The Indian army was also extensively reorganized.

Another significant result of the mutiny was the beginning of the policy of consultation with Indians. The Legislative Council of 1853 had contained only Europeans and had arrogantly behaved as if it were a full-fledged parliament. It was widely felt that a lack of communication with Indian opinion had helped to precipitate the crisis. Accordingly, the new council of 1861 was given an Indian-nominated element. The educational and public works programs (roads, railways, telegraphs, and irrigation) continued with little interruption; in fact, some were stimulated by the thought of their value for the transport of troops in a crisis. But insensitive British-imposed social measures that affected Hindu society came to an abrupt end.

Finally, there was the effect of the mutiny on the people of India themselves. Traditional society had made its protest against the incoming alien influences, and it had failed. The princes and other natural leaders had either held aloof from the mutiny or had proved, for the most part, incompetent. From this time all serious hope of a revival of the past or an exclusion of the West diminished. The traditional structure of Indian society began to break down and was eventually superseded by a Westernized class system, from which emerged a strong middle class with a heightened sense of Indian nationalism.
