Revolt of 1857 and due to its rebellion of 1857


Military reasons
Indian soldiers were dissatisfied with the British for a variety of reasons. Regarding the wages, allowances, promotions etc, they were treated partisan. The salary of an ordinary soldier was Rs 7-8 per month, after which he had one or a half rupee after giving money to the food and uniform. Indians were prejudiced compared to Britishers. As the salary of Indian sub-rule was 35 rupees monthly, while the salary of the British Legion was 195 rupees monthly. Indians were not appointed on high posts in the army. Only top Britishers were appointed on higher posts. Dr. R. C. Majumdar has given three reasons for the fury of Indian soldiers-
(1) There were many soldiers of Awadh in the army of Bengal. Therefore, when the Avadh was taken in the British Empire in 1856 AD, there was dissatisfaction among them.
(2) The Britishers ordered the Sikh soldiers to cut their hair and pull them out of the army.
(3) Even the British government was passionate about promoting Christianity.
