The Battle of Plassey DID NOT secure the British monopoly over India. It only gave them control over a small portion of Bengal in Eastern India. The British had to fight 3 wars later with the Marathas, the de facto rulers of most of India at the time, and it was finally during the 3rd Anglo-Maratha war in 1818 that the British had control over a large portion of India.

[@sakshampandey7342]

@Field Marshall Rommel the British fought wars with the Sikhs, the Marathas, the Afghans, The Mughals, the Mysore Sultans, the Hyderabad rulers, various independent smaller states, the Nawabs of Awadh and Bengal and then, at around 1856 they annexed the last independent and formidable state of Awadh. The conquest of the Indian subcontinent was not a cakewalk for anyone in history. In fact, other conquerors, like the Mughals, managed to annex a larger part of the Indian subcontinent in a shorter period of time as compared to the British. The best part is, most of the earlier foreigners who made India their home, stayed and ruled large parts of the Indian subcontinent as men of the very same soil. The Mughals, The Kushans(Central Asian), The Huns, The Scythians, the Indo Greeks are some of the best example of this. They sought to achieve goals that secured the economic, political and military interests of the then Mughal or Kushan or Indo Scythian of Indo-Hunnic Empire which ruled over various parts of the Indian subcontinent and its people in history for periods ranging from a 100 to 200 years. The reason why Indians despise the British rule and the very characteristic which earned the British empire its criticism was the nature of their rule. They exploited the very people over whom they were supposed to rule. The entire experience was one of racism, exploitation and suppression. The British didn't usher in a light of civilisation, the Indians were amongst the oldest surviving civilisations in the world. They had made advances in science, maths, astronomy, geography, metallurgy and navigation during the first 6 centuries of the Common Era, that would take the "British" or rather the Western world another 1000 years to catch up. Hell, until the reformations, most of the Christian world believed the universe of Geocentric. The Indians figured out the Universe of Heliocentric back in the 2nd century AD. The British discriminated in the dispensation of justice in courts in which an Indian was guaranteed a punishment for being accused by a Britisher, but the opposite was true if the roles were reversed. The Indian manufacturer was forced out of employment because the British industrialists hated their competition. The Indian soldier was just as competent as his European counterpart, but was expected to perform the latter's duties for them. The poverty and famine of Indians was of no concern to their colonial masters. That's the reality of the British rule in India.

[@denverbritto5606]

@@sakshampandey7342 this kind of nationalist chauvinism about India's historic advancement is as embarassing as imperial chauvinism about Britain's or France's conquests. India may have been very advanced relative to the rest of the world in certain fields 2500 or 1200 years ago or whenever, but by 1600 or 1700 it had been falling behind in terms of jurisprudence, political philosophy, medical science, agricultural science, technology etc. It's ignorant and vainglorious to hold up India's historic achievements as an example of why India was superior 1000 years after those achievements had been made. As for the British empire's record in India, it was a mixed bag, like all other periods of Indian history and brought many benefits and positive developments along with the negatives.

The Enfield cartridges issued to India were not greased with animal fat they were greased with vegetable fat. This beef/pork fat grease was a rumour that has never been successfully quashed. The British took representatives from several battalions of native infantry to examine the cartridges production at the arsenal in Bangalore and they were much relieved but the army in general wouldn’t believe it. The British even offered to let the sepoys grease the cartridges themselves at one point but it didn’t matter. Once the rumour was out there it wouldn’t go away.

The Mutiny, while being a bit wider than a purely military revolt, was not a national revolution, as the people of India had very little national awareness at that time; the idea of a self-governing Indian nation-state had not taken root. It was the emergence of an educated, politically aware Indian middle class that was to bring about the independence movement, and they were, in the main, a product of the post-Mutiny Raj.

The first Regiments of the EiC to mutiny were Muslim, raised in Oudh, the 3rd Bengal Light Cavalry and 20th Native Infantry at Meerut and the 2nd Bengal Light Cavalry at Cawnpoor. Hindu regiments joined the mutiny and this prompted several Hindu leaders in Delhi, Cawnpoor and Jhansi to join in a rebellion. Their private armies bolstering the numbers of the mutineers.

All narratives come from the British.. being drunk is an excuse Hindus were being oppressed. And that's the case.

I just would like to add: You put rings over the heads of the cow and the pig. These two animals are prohibited from eating for different reasons. The cow is a respected animal in Hinduism, but in islam, the pig is seen as a filthy, disgusting creature - so it is not a respected animal.

Well they want to do a full war against east India company but they need to find main reason to inspire people to fight against British and Mangal Pandey found a reason which is gun which hurt both religions feeling and than Mangal started a war and it ended the company and started the raaj😢

Muslims did not nor do not consider the pig (pork products) as sacred in anyway, quite the reverse. they consider it unclean, so why in your rubbishy Indian Uprising "documentary" ??? do you portray the pig as holy by putting a halo over it. Its OK to depict a cow with a halo as Hindus consider it a sacred beast, you also refer to the Lee Enfield rifle (in caption) as 1953 model ??? Such crass inaccuracies makes the whole documentary questionable. If you must publish on KZbin, do at least get facts right !!

[@ThenNow]

You're right, my mistake - the halo should not have been over the pig. And 1953 was a typo. Thanks for pointing this out

It was not a rebellion, it was the Indian War of Independence

[@wfcoaker1398]

Isn't every rebellion technically a war of independence? And it's part of the shared history of all of us in the "Commonwealth that used to be an Empire". I'm a Canadian white guy, and I consider figures like Jhansi ki Rani and Mangal Pandi for instance, as being as much heros of our shared history as any of the white "heros". They showed bravery and devotion to their principles. And the murderous arrogance of the Brits and the massacres by the rebels are part of our shared shame. We have to stop hating each other for long ago crimes. My ancestors were kept in virtual serfdom by greedy British merchants, but why hate modern Brits for that?

nice video, you missed a lot out, i see you mentioned the British retaliation but not the atrocities done to women & children but the rebels. Also just to note that there is no doubt that India would of been colonized by a european force. We must be thankful it was the British and not the russians, French, Belguims, Dutch or Germans. Im not saying that colonization was good BTW. I only mention Germany because of WW1 & WW2 otherwise they would of been a just as good as the British.
