Information on freedom struggle of 1857?
The British empire contained within itself the seeds of its own destruction. The British constructed a vast railway network across the entire land in order to facilitate the t…ransport of raw materials to the ports for export. This gave intangible form to the idea of Indian unity by physically bringing all the peoples of the subcontinent within easy reach of each other. Since it was impossible for a small handful of foreigners to administer such a vast country, they set out to create a local elite to help them in this task; to this end they set up a system of education that familiarised the local intelligentsia with the intellectual and social values of the West. Ideas of democracy, individual freedom and equality were the antithesis of the empire and led to the genesis of the freedom movement among thinkers like Raja Rammohan Roy, Bankim Chandra and Vidyasagar. With the failure of the 1857 mutiny, the leadership of the freedom movement passed into the hands of this class and crystallised in the formation of the Indian National Congress in 1885. The binding psychological concept of National Unity was also forged in the fire of the struggle against a common foreign oppressor. At the turn of the century, the freedom movement reached out to the common unlettered man through the launching of the Swadeshi movement by leaders such as Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Aurobindo Ghose. But the full mobilisation of the masses into an invincible force only occured with the apperance on the scene of one of the most remarkable and charismatic leaders of the twentieth century, perhaps in history.

Reasons for the failure of the revolt of 1857 1857?
The Indian Mutiny of 1857 failed for a number of reasons. First of all, only a limited number of Indian states joined the rebellion, while a much larger number of states r…emained loyal to the British and others did not get themselves involved. Also many sepoy troops and the Sikhs, Gurkha and Pathans - renowned and fierce fighters - remained loyal, and all in all the British had over 100,000 troops with which to counter the rebellion. A call for Jihad against the British largely failed, because of Sunni / Shia disagreements on the matter. And cruelties and mass murders by the rebels of Europeans - a large part of them women and children - made the British fiercely determined not to come to any agreement with the rebel forces and states. It took a while for the British to get themselves organized, but when they did, they moved their armies against the less well armed and organized rebels and their strongholds. They retook important cities like Delhi and Lucknow and from 1857 on gained ground everywhere. A peace treaty was concluded in 1858, after which only 'mopping up'-operations remained to be done.
