S2E1 - S2E1 - First War of Independence The Begining

Episode Notes Title: The Revolution - Untold Story of Indian Freedom Struggle: Season 2, Episode 1 Introduction: A hundred years have passed since the Battle of Plassey and the colonization of India began. This episode of The Revolution focuses on the Indian Mutiny. Body: The British East India Company applied policies to gain power over India. The fight against the British East India Company became a rebellion by the people. The Doctrine of Subsidiary Alliance was introduced to make Indian states and kings puppets of the British rulers. The Indian sepoys were relied upon by the British East India Company to quell any revolts that arose. Chhabeli, a little girl from Bithur, married Maharaja Gangadhar Rao of Jhansi, and later became known as Lakshmibai. The Doctrine of Lapse was implemented to de-legitimize the rights of the adopted heirs of the princely states in India. Lord Dalhousie's misapplication of the state-grab policy fueled humiliation in the hearts of the Indian people. Nana Saheb made progress in the rebellion for three years, as advised by Azimulla Khan, while the British company was occupied with repressing peasant and tribal revolts in different parts of the nation. The disgruntled conspirators used the pretext of new rifle cartridges very skillfully to inflame the sepoys. Conclusion: Nanasaheb visited Delhi, Ambala, Lucknow, and Jhansi, and took final preparations. Rumors of the upcoming rebellion were spread across the country in strange ways.
