Following are the reasons of taking part of Indian soldiers in the Revolt of 1857 A.D. :
- In 1856, one law was passed according to which soldiers could be sent beyond the sea in a war. But in Hindu religion, it was considered that going beyond the sea is against religion.
- Indian soldiers were badly treated during the Parade. It was unbearable for the Indian soldiers to tolerate this disrespect.
- Indian soldiers were given very less salary as compared to the British soldiers. That’s why resentment spread among them.
- The British officers disrespected the culture of Indian soldiers in front of them. Indian soldiers wanted to take revenge of this disrespect.
