The Great Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny, had profound effects on India and British colonial rule. It led to the dissolution of the East India Company and the establishment of direct British government control over India, marking the beginning of the British Raj. The rebellion also heightened racial tensions and resulted in significant changes in British policies towards India, including a shift towards more direct governance and an increased emphasis on military presence. Additionally, the revolt fostered a sense of nationalism among Indians, laying the groundwork for future movements for independence.
