		The sepoys did not seek to revive small kingdoms in their regions, instead they repeatedly proclaimed a "country-wide rule" of the Moghuls and vowed to drive out the British from "India", as they knew it then.
		The sepoys rejected this concept of a new drill, pointing out that that they might very well forget and bite the cartridge, not surprising given the extensive drilling that 19th century soldiers received in loading and firing their muskets.
		The sepoys knew it was very likely that they would also be asked to use the new cartridges and they too would have to refuse in order to save their caste, religion and social status.

	Sepoy Rebellion: 1857
		One of the most well-known uprisings during the British colonization of India was a mutiny of the native troops known as "sepoys".
		When it began on Sunday, May 10, 1857 the Sepoy rebellion was a complete surprise to the British, many of whom were "blind to the unrest that had been created, in part, by the rapid imposition of direct British control over two-thirds of India" [1].
		The Indian units were called "native sepoys" and soon became the largest part of the British forces in India, eventually outnumbering European troops ten to one [3].

		Mutiny by the sepoys under the employ of the British East India Company’s army started occurring in relatively smaller scales as far back as 1764.
		As a mutiny in itself, leading to such a serious threat, this incident seems to have received less coverage by British historians and is not reported with the sensationalism associated with the sepoy mutinies.
		The causes that lead to the first sepoy mutiny in 1764 and the location of the incident (Patna according to one Indian source) in the presidency does not seem to be clear, but the style of punishment lashed out to the 24 Indian ringleaders reflected facets of British civilisation.

		The mutiny spread rapidly through N central India, and, by the end of June, Cawnpore (Kanpur) had fallen to the sepoys of Nana Sahib, and Lucknow was besieged.
		In repressing the rebellion the British were aided by the loyalty of the Punjab (the Sikhs did not wish to see the restoration of Mughal rule) and the passivity of the south.
		Although it is too much to say that the mutiny constituted a nationalist uprising, it was at that time that the first stirrings of active Indian nationalism began to be felt.

		If you accept the version of most historians and the Indian government, it was in 1857, when Indian soldiers of the British army rebelled against their colonial masters in what was known as the "sepoy mutiny" or the "first war of independence".

		After all the ultimate result of the Mutiny by the sepoys was a relinquishing of the control of India by the East India Company and an official setting of this jewel into the crown.
		Times’s initial reporting of the Mutiny was actually a response to a suggestion in the French press that India was revolting against British rule (Kevin Hobson, “The British Press; The Indian Mutiny” [http://www.edunltd.com/empire/article/mutinypress.htm (2/20/00)], 1).
