Questions Part 13

The revolt of 1857 was much more than a mere product of sepoy discontent. It was in
reality a product of accumulated grievances against the company՚s administration a popular
discontent and hatred against foreign rule. The most important cause was the economic
exploitation, the complete destruction of its traditional economic fabric, the impoverishment
of the vast mass of peasants, artisans and handicraftsmen as also a lrge number of
traditional zamindars and chiefs. As a result of the British land and revenue policies and the

traders and money-lenders and found themselves in utter debt.In addition, the common
people were hard hit by corruption even at the lower levels of administration. The complex
judicial system enabled the rich to oppress the poor, and the growing poverty made them
desperate. The middle and upper classes of Indian society suffered by their exclusion from
higher positions in the administration. Displacement of Indian rulers led to the loss of
patronage to the men of arts and culture and also to the religious preachers- pundits and
Maulvis, who plays an important role in spreading discontent against the government.
