Q. Nature and character of 1857 is one of the most researched topics in the history of modern India. Which of the following is not true related to its nature?
Answer: None of the above
Notes: 1857 revolt was not just a sepoy mutiny because other masses including peasants, artisans, traditional zamindar’s etc also participated. It also fails to qualify itself as first war of Indian independence as it was only confined to gangetic valley and Central India and did not have any impact on British strongholds of Bengal, Madras and Bombay presidency.
