Indian Rebellion of 1857



The Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the First War of Indian Independence (Hindi: १८५७ का प्रथम भारतीय स्वतंत्रता संग्राम), the Sepoy Rebellion and the Indian Mutiny (however, see Debate over name as the issue is controversial), was a prolonged period of armed uprisings in different parts of India against British occupation of that part of the subcontinent. Small precursors of brewing discontent involving incidences of arson in cantonment areas began to manifest themselves in January.
