Why do you think the British and Indians had a different name for Sepoy Mutiny?

The British referred to the 1857 uprising as the "Sepoy Mutiny" because they viewed it primarily as a rebellion by Indian soldiers (sepoys) against their colonial authority. In contrast, Indians often call it the "First War of Independence," reflecting their perspective that it was a broader struggle against British imperial rule, encompassing various social, political, and economic grievances. This divergence in terminology highlights the differing narratives and historical interpretations shaped by colonial power dynamics and national identity.
