Answer:

The Revolt of 1857 is also known as The Great Revolt of 1857 or the Sepoy mutiny of 1857. The sepoys of India who were opressed by the British for a long time revolted.

The 1st initiative was taken by sepoy Mangal Pandey.He had shot a british general. The British had ordered to arrest Mangal Pandey but the Indian sepoys did not follow his instructions. Under the leadership of Mangal Pandey on 29 March 1857 the Indian sepoys marched to Delhi and made the nawab of delhi the emperor of india. After that many revolts broke out in india. But the British had been successful in suppressing all of them.The bengali middle class people were however apathetic to the revolt of 1857. Even they did not want the revolt to be successful.This was because they feared that if the british would go back then india would return to its age of darkness again .the little money and status that they had acquired during the British rule would be lost.Although the Revolt of 1857 was unsuccessful it is in some cases identified as the First War of Independence....
