    What was the nature of the Revolt?

    Answer:

    The Revolt met its tragic and bitter end. It has been given various names like the Great Rebellion, Indian Mutiny, Sepoy Mutiny, India's First War of Independence and National Revolt and so on. British historians have dismissed the uprising in 1857 as nothing more than a 'sepoy mutiny'. The Indian historians termed it as the 'First War of Indian Independence'. They justify this by the argument that It was a fight against injustice. Its objective was to throw the British out of India and terminate colonial rule. The rebels wanted a countrywide rule under the Mughal Emperor.
