For all the grand talk, ordinary Brits were living in dire poverty, working 48 hours per week, having their children over age 12 working, and they lived in extremely squalid housing conditions -- large families living in one unheated room. The only people who benefited from Empire were aristocrats and industrialists. The real wonder is not the Mutiny in India, but that there was no mutiny in England.

3:00 - straight out lies. The regions of UP - Bihar along with the rest of India were being deindustrialized. The epicenter of this war of independence were indeed UP- Bihar but the rest of India also had many uprisings. You had closed hundreds of thousands of manufacturing hubs and units across the region. Causing massive unemployment and poverty. Not just that, your kind took trillions upon trillions worth of raw material at cheap prices and then used them to manufacture products in UK & other western countries and then sold them ( or forced indians) to buy it at high prices and the entire transaction which was happening in terms of bullion and gold before the British rap&&ac***ity and so British hoarded hundreds of trillions worth if gold and bullion and other raw materials and destroyed everything in India
