उत्तर
- The General Service Enlistment Act of 1856 upset Hindu sepoys in the British Indian Army. This act forced all Indian soldiers to serve abroad if ordered, conflicting with the religious beliefs of many Hindu sepoys.
- In traditional Hindu customs, crossing the sea, called "Kala Pani," led to losing caste and religious purity.
- For Hindu soldiers, this was more than military duty; it was a deep spiritual violation, separating them from their community and rituals.
- This act was viewed as a clear effort by the British to weaken their cultural and religious identity.
- The sepoys felt resentment and betrayal, believing their traditions were disrespected and their beliefs ignored.
- The act increased distrust between Indian soldiers and British officers, fueling anger and dissatisfaction that led to the Revolt of 1857.
