Solution
After the Revolt of 1857, British exploitation became more subtle and systematic. The effects of British rule were felt by almost all sections of Indian society. However, it took several decades for people to realize the true nature of British policies and how they were linked to India’s increasing poverty.
Many armed revolts took place after 1857, such as the Kuka Rebellion, which protested against the British attempt to create division between Hindus and Muslims. These events helped Indians understand the need for unity and self-rule, contributing to the growth of nationalism in India.
