Question

The Revolt of 1857 was a combined effort of all the communities of India.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

British historians have considered the 1857 struggle of Indians as a mere Sepoy Mutiny. But Indian national historians declared it as a great revolt of the people and called it The First War of Indian Independence. Vinayak Damodar Savarkar was the first among those who called it the first war of Indian independence. Even Pattabhi Sitaramaiah stated it as the first war of Indian independence. It was a combined effort of almost all the communities of the nation.
