    Answer:

    The failure of the Revolt was due to many reasons. These were: The Revolt lacked leadership and organization. There was no leader to guide and command. The rebels did not possess modern weapons. There was also lack of discipline as compared to the well -trained and well equipped British troops. The Revolt failed to spread to all parts of the country and large sections of the population did not support it. Many rulers and zamindars remained loyal to the British and helped the British in suppressing the Revolt. The educated class, zamindars and money lenders were against the revolt. The educated people thought that the British government was Bringing about reforms and progress which was good for the country. There was lack of unity among the rebels. They were joined together by a common feeling of hatred against foreigners and when the British power was overthrown. From their area, they did not have any forward programme. There was confusion about the objective of the revolt.
