1857 goes down in the annals of history as major landmark in Indian freedom struggle. Where under the leadership of bahadur shah jafar, Indians tried to forced Britishers out of India. Revolt failed to achieve its objective, but it brought major changes in British administration. The limitation of 187 revolt were:
- Territorial limitation: Even though it had wide coverage in Northern India but it was not so prominent in South India.
- There was a general anger against the exploitation. People residing in rural pockets had grievances against local landlords and money landers. So there was no united front.
- Some princely state were on the side of Britishers. During the revolt, EIC gave some concession and offered a better deal. Hence during the movement some section withdrew from the revolt thereby weakening the movement.
- Indian educated middle class were not in favour of revolt.
