The Great Indian National Revolt.

Indian mercenaries led by Indian feudal lords in the mid-19th century.

It was the backbone of the uprising against British colonial rule and the struggle for national independence. It is also known as the Indian mercenary mutiny and the Turkish uprising. In the first half of the 19th century, India was completely reduced to a British colony.

The British endeavoured to turn India into a market for goods and a source of raw materials, arousing great hatred among the peasants and craftsmen. The British policy of annexing feudal lordships in India caused dissatisfaction among many princes. After the British annexed Punjab in 1849, the privileges of 200,000 Indian mercenaries were revoked, which made the Indian mercenaries very angry.

They carried out various forms of anti-British propaganda in the vast urban and rural areas. From February to April 1857, there were constant incidents of mutiny in the army. On 11 May, the rebels entered Delhi and proclaimed Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah II as Emperor of India, setting up a 10-member executive council.

The insurgents occupied the ancient capital of Delhi, which sparked the rapid development of uprisings everywhere. The young Queen of Jhansi, Lakshmi Bayi, led the popular uprising in June. The uprising spread over vast areas of North and Central India, with Delhi, Kanpur, and Lucknow as its centres.

From early June to mid-September, the insurgents fought a heroic battle to defend Delhi. In early July, the leader of the Barelli uprising, Baked Khan, arrived in Delhi and was appointed commander-in-chief of the Delhi rebel army. However, the feudal nobility around Bahadur Shah II opposed Baked Khan, resulting in the loss of unified command of the rebel army.

In mid-September, after six days of bloody fighting, Delhi fell. Baked Khan led his army out of Farouhabad. Bahadur Shah II surrendered on his knees and was imprisoned in Yangon.

After the fall of Delhi, Lucknow, the capital of Ode, became the center of the rebel army. At the beginning of 1858, the rebel army concentrated in Lucknow was close to 200,000 men, of whom more than 10,000 were Indian mercenaries from the Bengal Legion. From 19 February to 19 March, the rebels fought hard to defend Lucknow and were finally forced to withdraw from the city.

From 22 March to 3 April, under the leadership of Lakshmi Bayi, the rebels fought the Battle of Jhansi. In June, the queen died in Gwalior.

Although the uprising ended in failure, it dealt a heavy blow to British colonial rule. In August 1858, the British Parliament passed a bill to abolish the East India Company.
