The Muslims, along with other groups, participated in the Indian Rebellion of 1857 primarily due to widespread discontent with British rule, which threatened their cultural, religious, and economic interests. Key grievances included the introduction of new laws that undermined traditional practices, the use of animal fat in rifle cartridges that offended religious sentiments, and heavy taxation. The rebellion was fueled by a desire for autonomy and the restoration of the Mughal Empire, which many viewed as a unifying force against colonial oppression. Ultimately, it was a collective uprising against British Imperialism, although it was marked by significant communal tensions.
