The Sepoy Rebellion, also known as the Indian Mutiny of 1857, involved Indian soldiers (sepoys) employed by the British East India Company, who revolted against their British officers. The rebellion was fueled by various grievances, including cultural insensitivity and discontent with British rule. It saw participation from a wide range of Indian classes, including soldiers, peasants, and local rulers, united against colonial oppression. Ultimately, the rebellion aimed to overthrow British authority in India, but it was suppressed by British forces.
