Solution
A) Political reasons:
- The higher class people like princes and educated class stayed missing from the revolt
- The revolt did not spread to a large area. It just focused on central India and northwestern India.
- The sepoys could not point out any substitute for the current British rule.
B) Military reasons:
- The British army was so well organized and strong
- The military supplies of the sepoys were too limited
C) Organizational reasons:
- The sepoys were unorganized.
- Very weak leadership. Leaders like Nana Saheb, Tantia Tope, Kunwar Singh, and Rani Lakshmi Bai were not efficient enough to confront the British army.
- The revolt was undirected and did not have any motive.
- It was just the uprising from the religious and emotional wounds of sepoys.
Therefore, Indians were defeated during the struggle of 1857.
