my my american hero(lol) ....not rubish but true fact my friend,suggest that if you can read,do some research,you (americans) know little about our colonial past-you were too busy destroying your own native americans.so i find it impossible to take your views serious.
Actually, the mutiny was mainly about the sepoys pay and conditions, the story about the cow and pig fat on the bulets was just that, a story and the muslim and hindu rebels were largely put down by sikh irregulars.
british retribution for the treacherous uprising was swift, complete ,and bloody. hanging thousands of sepoys and their sympathisers. some argue that many were innocent,but these "innocents" had stood by and watched the english be murdered !!! at the bibi guhr over 200 women & infants where slaughtered with blades then thrown down a well -many still alive. surviving the uprising at cawnpore,after months of suffering only to end their days at the bibi guhr. british revenge was justified.
Not to condone the killing of innocents, but revenge is never justified when carried out on more innocents. The Kanpur massacre in July was predated by British killing of innocent civilians in June and earlier eg. Colonel James Neill (the butcher of Allahabad) burning and destruction of whole villages before Kanpur. There's a lot more Indian blood on British hands, and Indian gold in British pockets than the other way around.
@jtubeh@jtubeh While you're lamenting the "treacherous" uprising & killing of civilians comtemplate the background that led to 1857. The East India Company was given the huge regions of Bengal, Bihar etc. after the Battle of Plassey and promptly raised the tax from 10% to 50% and forced the farmers to grow indigo & opium instead of food grains. This led to the Bengal Famine of 1770 where 10 MILLION innocent people starved to death. The British did nothing but raise the tax to 60%. Look it up.
How can it have been a war of independence when it was only the North that mutinied!
