The 1857 Rebellion had a significant impact on Indian history. The role of the company was abolished after this insurrection, and the crown was taken over. Dalhousie’s doctrine of lapse policy and Wellesley’s subsidiary alliance strategy were the primary causes of the revolts. Military, commercial, social, and religious considerations, as well as administrative and political factors, all contributed to the outbreak of the insurrection. The usage of the Enfield rifle was the direct reason.
