	-- Schwartzberg Atlas -- Digital South Asia Library
		If the Revolt of 1857–59 was really the beginning of the end of British rule in India, as some modern historiographers suggest, few people living at the time were aware of it.
		In quite another vein, the Revolt imparted to the British a sense of urgency with respect to the recently begun task of tying India together by a network of railroads and telegraphs, which were appreciated for their military as well as their economic and administrative utility.
		Apart from the shock, fear, and revulsion caused by the excesses of the British response to the 1857–59 revolt, a politically significant alteration in the attitudes of the Indians was slow in coming.

	The Hindu : Kerala News : Depiction of 1857 revolt as religious war flayed
		Bhattacharya said the colonial representation of the events of 1857 as a `religious war' with its trigger in the composition of the grease used in the Enfield cartridge is far from realistic and that there was much popular participation in the rebellion than has been granted by colonial historiography.
		Historian Irfan Habib, who coordinated the symposium, said the Revolt of 1857 was an event that was characterised by something more than `regional patriotism.' It was nationalism, but a certain kind of `Indian patriotism' that prompted the rebellious sections to join the revolt.
		Sabyasachi Bhattacharya said it is inappropriate to use the term `mutiny' to describe the revolt because it is beyond doubt that 1857 witnessed a popular movement with considerable participation by the civilian population and with a leadership drawn almost entirely from outside the East India Company's army.
