Question

What was the main reason for the failure of the Vellore Revolt?

• A. It failed because there was no immediate help from outside.
• B. It failed because there was no proper organisation.
• C. It failed because the sepoys were double crossed.
• D. It did not fail.

Answer 1

The correct option is A It failed because there was no immediate help from outside.

The main reason for the failure of the Vellore Revolt was that it received no immediate support from outside. It also did not have a civil rebellion like the Sepoy Mutiny did. This contributed to not keeping the momentum despite having the makings of the Revolt of 1857.
