in the usa companies use to run entire cities, they literally built cities where they built factories and mines. an than they would tax their workers for the living quarters, water, electricity. an pay rent to them. a similar thing still continues in germany, where companies give/offer company built quarters in return for rent. in particular the companies take advantage of the cheap ukrainian refugees, romani, and other eastern europeans leaving their home countries. technically the company does have the right to do it, they literally owned the land and built the buildings.

[@bhanumanhas175]

@CM99501 As is generally the case history is more complex than that. The issue of beef wax and pig wax was the last straw for an explosive situation which was building for at least since the turn of 19th century. To keep it short I summarise it as follows: 1. The empire of India was won for the British by the confidence and trust between the Indian soldier and the British officer. 2. East India Company had three armies - The Bengal Army, The Bombay Army and The Madras Army. 3. Somewhere around the beginning of the 19th century a structural trend of the decline in military professionalism started in the Bengal Army where the British Officer started to take the Indian Soldier for granted and gradually the British Officer of the Bengal Army lost the respect and trust of the Indian Soldier. 4. This was not the case with Bombay and Madras Armies. The regiments of Bombay and Madras Armies stayed true to their century old regimental traditions which promoted discipline in the regiment and respect and trust between the British Officer and the Indian Soldier. 4. In India religion and caste are taken very seriously even today. So one can only imagine what the situation would be like back in 1857. 5. First of all the Officers of the Bengal Army were not careful or sensitive enough to understand the explosiveness of the situation. That they are crying for murder even by the suggestion of introducing beef wax and pig wax cartridges for the Hindu and the Muslim soldier. 6. When it seemed that the situation is getting out of hand and the officers of the Bengal Army tried to pacify and assure the soldiers that their sensitivities will be kept in mind it was already too late. It's in such tricky situations that 'trust, confidence and respect' factor can save the day. But the British Officer of the Bengal Army had lost it a long time ago. 7. Even in 1857 after a century of conquest in India by the British, when the First War of Indian Independence broke out, India was militarily strong enough to throw the British out. But again the Indian Soldier of Bombay and Madras Armies stayed loyal to their regiments and their British Officers. 8. The relatively recently raised Sikh Regiments and Gorkha (Gurkha) Regiments of the British also played a very important part. In conclusion I'll say that it's the human spirit properly nurtured and directed that prevails in any endeavour. The Confidence and Respect between the Indian Soldier and the British Officer first won India for the British and then came to their rescue in the most serious military challenge to their rule in India.

I intend to address three issues here which have been discussed in comments : 1. Someone commented that the Armies of East India Company can be compared to contemporary Corporate security forces. Today's corporate security forces wouldn't hold water even in front of a single regiment of East India Company. Here I'm talking from the perspective of military professionalism and military effectiveness and not technology. To understand what I'm saying here just consider this question 'If Jeff Bezos starts a corporate security force and you are part of it, would you be willing to even sacrifice your life for Jeff Bezos?' The armies of East India Company for all their faults were led by true military leaders (at least in the beginning when it comes to Bengal Army) and not by some corporate managers and that's why they were so successful against the armies of Indian princes which were no walkover armies either. 2. Someone commented how civil war broke out immediately after India gained independence. This person is a liar. There has never been a civil war in the modern Indian nation unlike Britain and America. What happened was that the British partitioned British India into India and Pakistan and then in the 1971 Indo-Pak war India dismembered Pakistan which gave birth to the new nation of Bangladesh. The British logic for partition of India was that they couldn't imagine that India will stay United and become an Asian giant after they left India. They imagined that civil war will break out in India and India will disintegrate into many smaller states. So they created a Muslim state namely Pakistan as an additional buffer other than Afghanistan between the Indian subcontinent and Soviet Union. For all their time in India the British were obsessed with Russian invasion of India. 3 Someone made a disparaging reply to my previous comment. Many of us Indians are deeply uncomfortable with the British Indian Army. But the fact is that many of the modern Indian Army Regiments have preserved and cherish their history carefully and which can go back from a century to more than 250 years, making them some of the oldest regiments in the world. That's because the Indian soldiers of these regiments are fully aware of what their military ancestors accomplished even under British rule. The fundamental mistake the contemporary individual makes while trying to understand history is they see history from their own perspective. Maybe it's because that's how movies on history, present history. That's because a movie doesn't have the time to go into the details of history. If you really want to learn history, well researched history books are much better source.

@country baller • 29 years ago I hope you liked what I have written here. As you asked for more i'll just add one more thing here: The phenomenon like that of British Indian Army was a unique one which is not possible in the modern world. People the world over are now much more aware of their national identities and would find it demeaning to serve under the command of some foreign people. The British Indian Army came into existence at a time when the world was a much simpler place. The recruits to the various Indian Army regiments were simple country boys who cared for upholding the good name of their regiments even at the cost of their lives. As Indians started to become more and more aware of their national identity in the background of Indian freedom struggle, the soldiers started to ask themselves why are they serving these foreign rulers. The British took a wise and timely decision after World War II that before they lose the respect of Indian Armed Forces, they should leave India. This was not the only factor but it was an important factor.

don't think either side actually wanted to escalate the issue, the sepoys wanted to make it know they would not on any terms use the animal fat cartridges in their guns, the officers having realised they shouldn't have pushed the issue but now being to far in deep with a command they never should have given mostly just wanted to save face. the officer did after all boast to the other officers that his men were so loyal to him they would do as he commanded even if it was against there religion. I imagine his next officer meeting wasn't a pleasant one to sit in.

[@samstephen6393]

Is your observation based on the clip? As is the case in any movie, a lot of artistic license has been taken here. In reality, the incident happened during the day, Pandey was fairly alone (though his squad mates, with one exception, refused to help the officers). He shot at (and missed) one of the officers and then tried to shoot himself (again missed the vital organs). There was no artillery involved, no major speech (all his words were against his squad mates for refusing to help him) and no torches. I guess that the script writer had used the instances where companies were disarmed with the threat of artillery fire, as an inspiration for this scene.

[@arnab6408]

Scenes depicted here are dramatic symbolisation. The actual distances were large and the company officers could only see torches in the dark (which is why the Subedar asked everyone to carry two, classic deception). It is also popularly said that if you defend everything, you defend nothing. The brits didnt know in which direction they would be hit and they also underestimated a popular rebellion to be a mere mutiny, so the company was outmatched. They had no choice. The movie could not represent that faithfully.

[@arnab6408]

​@@samstephen6393 What is shown here are the attempts by the local garrison to stop the spread of disaffection the night before formal declaration of mutiny.

Different sources make differing claims about the cartridges. Manufacturers were told to lubricate with vegetable oil because animal fat would soon deteriorate especially in a hot climate. However we do know that some British manufactured cartridges used tallow made from pig fat. More cartridges made in Dum Dum India used cow fat. The senior military instructed that those coated in animal fat were to be issued to Europeans only. This would have been unknown to the jnr Officers, who had seen the vegetable specification. However such was the poor standard of distribution at the time, it was possible that some animal fat cartridges were issued and the trust soldiers had in British Officers lost.

[@thewingedhussar4188]

@@reynoldroux But the rumors were not true right? The officers screwed up because they did not explain there was no beef or pork fat.

Thus when they ignored the questioning and pushed the issue, the regiments thought the rumores were true, An rebelled. Isn't that how it went down?

[@ndesi62]

​@@thewingedhussar4188 That's one theory, yes. But the historians advocating that version of the story tend to be British apologists. Which isn't to say they're wrong! But Indian historians tend to assume that the rumors were basically accurate, pointing out that claims to the contrary only started to be made after the rebellion had already broken out and the whole debacle had become a sore spot the British officers wanted to cover up. In reality, we'll probably never know for sure what exactly was in those cartridges. However, the soldier's willingness to believe that their officers could be so callous, and their eagerness to take up arms as soon as they heard the rumors, tells me that a war was just waiting to break out, and the issue with the cartridges was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

[@thewingedhussar4188]

@@ndesi62 Yeah it makes it sound like they were waiting for just the right excuse. So in a way both sides are to blame in this regard. No clear bad guy. Personally (and i do admit this is coming from my pure thoughts/my own experience on it and should not be take to mater of factlly), I don't think the ammunition really did have any fat on them, because of personal experience with US civil war reenactments i took part in. Some of those very same Pattern 1853 Enfields, those that the sepoys were told to use, were used in the US civil war. An the south would not have cared about the use of beef or pork fat. Plus I had to make my own rounds, none of the guides on how to make that ammo said anything about using animal fats at all. Even the hard core of the time manuals i read did not say to use them. Still regardless how the British handled things was just flat out wrong/bad. On both government and company wise.

[@sharkybate7115]

You're right, he wasn't a drunkard. He was, however, a stoner

@@sharkybate7115 and your idea of historical accuracy comes from western historians just as your perception of the world comes from Wall Street Journal and New York Times. Tell me, do you think Alexander was a great Greek king?

@@anirudhgoyal6295 He was a Macedonian king. Not Greek. He was a Helenophile, which meant that he was in love with Greek culture, and did hsi best to unify the Greek world and spread it's culture and customs amongst his empire.

Good film, can I see it on Netflix?

[@NabaTeron1479]

I would say it is not entirely accurate but still a good movie. I recommend u to watch 'Kesari' ( which is accurate) base on British Indian army's Afghan campaign.

@@NabaTeron1479 - I saw a series on Netflix called Saragarhi 1897 set on Indian border with Afghanistan which I thoroughly enjoyed. I see your similar time period recommendation is a film. I probably would like it.

Mitchell did NOT threaten his men with being blown from the gun. That horrible punishment was meted out against some recalcitrant mutineers after the Mutiny was suppressed. I guess one can't let historical accuracy get in the way of a good jingoistic film.

[@shammi9teen]

Its just the few minutes of the movie At the end the mutineer Mangal Pandey was hanged and the mutiny was brutally supressed
