>>I am sure uddham singh general dyer ni champaledu..The guy he killed was ht lt gvernor of punjab..
Yeah, it was the then Punjab governor Micheal Dwyer. Infact, it is known that Jallianwala incident was the result of Dwyer's plot and not General Dyer's, though the latter became more notorious in this connection. |

reasons for the defeat
The Defeat of 1858
Why the gains of 1857 could not be consolidated
Although the 1857 Revolt marks an inspiring chapter in the history of the Indian Freedom Movement, it is important to probe a little deeper and examine more carefully the factors that allowed the British forces to regroup and regain their lost colonial territories.
As already noted in our previous essay on 1857, the rebellion did not spread to the entire Indian subcontinent. In particular, the Sikh and Rajputana territories remained largely unaffected (as did the more powerful of the Maratha territories), and the Nizam's Armies were successful in crushing the resistance in Hyderabad. This undoubtedly gave the British considerable breathing room and provided them the time and opportunity to fight again.
However, it would be incorrect to conclude that these favorable circumstances alone could have guaranteed a favorable reversal in fortunes for the British. The British had lost control over a considerable portion of the Gangetic Plain (and significant pockets in Central India), and had the rebellious forces been able to hold on to their gains for a few more years, it is quite possible, that the rebellion could have spread, making a British reversal all the more difficult and unlikely.
While it is true that the plains were hard to defend since they offered few geographic features that could have facilitated a long-drawn out gorilla war, the rebellious forces had the advantage of numbers and considerable grass-roots support. And even though the British enjoyed certain key technological advantages, their numbers were insufficient to win without the ability to recruit Indian mercenaries. Realizing this, the resistance forces sent out fervent appeals - calling upon all other Indians to refrain from joining the colonial regiments, and even appealing to many of the soldiers in the Princely Estates to rebel. Nevertheless, it appears that the British were successful in augmenting their limited armies - and although some of the extra forces were contributed by the Indian Princes, these contributions alone were in all likelihood insufficient to tilt the balance in their favor. It was the ability of the British to secure fresh Indian recruits that may have ultimately turned the tide against the 1857 resistance.
Even though there was a broad unity amongst Hindus and Muslims during 1857, this unity did not extend to the "unclean" or "impure" castes. In the plains, prejudices against the "untouchable" castes were especially strong, and there was deep disaffection with both the Islamic nobility and the Hindu upper castes amongst those condemned to live outside of the Muslim and Hindu mainstream. It was principally amongst these most downtrodden castes that the British were able to draw new conscripts for their counter-offensive in 1858.
Although the British victory did virtually nothing to liberate the down-trodden castes, and in fact, impoverished them (and hence marginalized them) to a much greater degree than anyone could have imagined in 1858, the entire nation paid a very heavy price for its inability to rise above such medieval phobias and prejudices. No one on the side of the 1857 resistance was able to comprehend the consequences of this grave sociological weakness in Indian society. The vice of social conservatism not only held the Mughal nobility in its grip, it also extended to the Hindu and Muslim masses.
Although the Sikhs and the Marathas had forged broad ecumenical coalitions in their struggle against Mughal imperial rule, allowing for the rise of intermediate castes to positions of power, discrimination against the lowest castes generally persisted. In any case, by 1857, the vast majority of Sikh and Maratha rulers had become fairly isolated from the masses, and had either developed conservative tendencies themselves, or had entered into alliances with increasingly assertive clerical forces that were inimical to further progress.
But apart from the problems of casteism and clerical conservatism, there was the indifference or aloofness of the influential money-lending classes who had the ability to fund the resistance and could have paid for counter-recruitment had they so wished. Worse still was how some of those who profited from the ignominious practice of usury actively aided and abetted the colonial efforts.
The British were thus able to exploit a number of cleavages in Indian society to reverse the liberation of the Northern plains that had been achieved by the 1857 rebellion.
In contrast, it may be especially useful to compare the Indian defeat of 1858 with the Meiji restoration in Japan that followed Japan's own humiliating losses at the hands of the European navies in the mid-19th century. Unlike in India, where no leaders emerged with any strategic vision that could effectively counter the colonial menace - in Japan, there arose from amongst the Samurai Nobles, factions that realized that not only had Japan suffered a serious military defeat, but that it faced a new kind of power that could challenge Japanese society at many levels.
Amongst the Samurai clans who were determined to avenge the military and diplomatic humiliations that Japan had to suffer, besides feelings of fierce national resolve, there was also the intellectual far-sightedness to comprehend that the Japanese elite could no longer rule in the same way, or conservatively cling to past cultural and political achievements. They were prescient enough to recognize that the Europeans were unlike any traditional political opponent - but were representative of an entirely new type of power with productive capacities that could neither be duplicated nor matched by the old techniques. They realized that without the ability to match Europe in the economic and related domains (of science, technology and social culture), they could never hope to maintain their sovereignty, or live in peace with dignity.
Hence, with Japan's Meiji "restoration" came sweeping social and political reforms that put an end to the back-breaking economic burdens of the landless peasantry, as also the caste-like socially discriminatory practices that had become the norm in medieval Japan. Although it was inevitable that land-reforms alone would not prevent the dispersion of the Japanese peasantry in a nation as land poor as Japan, the collapse of small farms did not lead to the social disaster it could have because the forward-looking rulers of Meiji Japanese had simultaneously launched a sweeping program of planned scientific, technological, industrial and cultural modernization. Even as small-farming became unviable, rapid and steady industrial expansion absorbed the dying peasantry into a new urban working class.
But India's very successes in pre-industrial manufacturing and the resultant wealth stood in the way of its modernization. India's rulers were simply too rich and too complacent to worry about the future. Whereas the most advanced of Japan's Samurai clans realized that in order for Japan to defend itself successfully it needed more than the will to fight - that it also needed to catch up with the scientific, technological and cultural progress that had been made in Europe in the previous century, major Indian rulers either didn't fight at all, or fought without developing a strategic vision for the future.
Although some of the Indian rulers were prepared to make political concessions, and initiate some political reforms, they were unprepared to go far enough. Most were unwilling to spend even a fraction of their enormous savings on the kind of sweeping educational reforms that were put in place in Japan. Nor did they have the vision to try and industrialize India on a modern basis as did the rulers of Meiji Japan. By the time some of the more progressive of the Indian princes realized the need for educational and industrial modernization (perhaps as a result of pressure from popular reform currents that began to emerge in the latter decades of the 19th C), much of the damage had already been done; the British political stranglehold on India considerably limited the possibilities for the Princes to take any major initiatives.
But in the meanwhile, Japan had established universities along European lines, invited European scientists, educators and technocrats to set up programs in Physics, Chemistry and Modern Industrial Techniques, as well as assist in the establishment of model industries. Symphony orchestras were established and the intelligentsia was encouraged to attend performances of the great European classics. Modern political and legal institutions were founded.
Moreover, unlike the Indian elite who aped the British in a mechanical and superficial (or dilettante) fashion, Japan (at least initially) sought to learn from the best in Europe - which often meant learning from Germany rather than England. Although this top-down modernization had its limitations - it did allow Japan to escape the debilitating effects of colonization that almost every other Asian nation had to suffer, and allowed it to catch up with (or even exceed) the European powers in many respects.
But the hapless Indian masses (who were virtually abandoned by the Indian elite) had no choice but to launch their own (and often heroic) struggles. Yet, even as they put up repeated resistance to colonial rule, insufficient mass solidarity (owing to the ill-effects of caste and religious cleavages) and the paucity of enlightened leadership limited the efficacy of these many valiant struggles. |

some info from the web
The Revolutionary Upheaval of 1857
Although dismissed by some as merely a sepoy's mutiny or revolt, or as a protest against the violation of religious rights by the British, the great uprising of 1857 is slowly gaining recognition as India's first war of independence. And in its broad sweep it was the greatest armed challenge to colonial rule during the entire course of the nineteenth century. Attracting people from all walks of life - both Hindus and Muslims, it triggered demands for radical social and economic reforms, calling for a new society that would be more democratic and more representative of popular demands.
Early Precedents
Neither was it a bolt out of the blue. Although not very well known, the period between 1763 and 1856 was not a period during which Indians accepted alien rule passively. Numerous uprisings by peasants, tribal communities and princely states confronted the British. Some were sustained - others sporadic - a few were isolated acts of revolutionary resistance - but nevertheless they all challenged colonial rule. Precipitated by the policy of unchecked colonial extraction of agricultural and forest wealth from the region - the period saw tremendous growth in rural poverty, the masses being reduced to a state of utter deprivation.
Even as official taxation was back-breaking enough, British officers routinely used their powers to coerce additional money, produce, and free services from the Indian peasants and artisans. And courts routinely dismissed their pleas for justice. In the first report of the Torture Commission at Madras presented to the British House of Commons in 1856, this was acknowledged along with the admission that officers of the East India Company did not abstain from torture, nor did they discourage its use. That this was a practice not confined to the Madras presidency alone is confirmed by a letter from Lord Dalhousie to the Court of Directors of the East India Company in September , 1855 where he admits that the practice of torture was in use in every British province.

Desperate communities had often no choice but to resist to the bitter end. Armed revolts broke out practically every year - only to be brutally suppressed by the British. Lacking the fire power of the British arsenal - they were invariably outgunned. And lacking the means of communication available to the British - individual revolts were also unable to trigger sympathetic rebellions elsewhere. Disadvantageous timing led to crushing defeats. Yet, some of these struggles raged for many years. Click for more details
One of the earliest rebellions was led by Dhondia Waug of Shimoga who managed to briefly liberate the Shimoga, Chitradurg, Dharwad and Bellary districts in 1799 (soon after the defeat of Tipu Sultan). Karnataka's Rani Chennamma led a valiant revolt in the Kittur region in 1824 which was followed by Sangoli Rayanna's guerrilla war five years later. Various peasant revolts persisted in Karnataka up to 1833. Also significant were the Kol Uprising of 1831, the Santhal Uprising of 1855, and the Kutch Rebellion which lasted from 1816 until 1832. Earlier, some of the rulers of Orissa and West Bengal had offered stiff resistance for more than afew decades before falling to British might.
There was also a precedence for a soldiers mutiny when Indian soldiers in Vellore (Northern Tamil Nadu) mutinied in 1806. Although unsuccessful, it led to the growth of unofficial political committees of soldiers who had several grievances against their British overlords.
Seething Grievances
For instance, in the Bengal Army, the 140,000 Indians who were employed as "Sepoys" were completely subordinate to the roughly 26,000 British officers. These sepoys bore the brunt of the First Britsh-Afghan War (1838-42), the two closely contested Punjab Wars (1845-6, and 1848-9) and the Second Anglo-Burmese War. They were shipped across the seas to fight in the Opium Wars against China (1840-42) and (1856-60) and the Crimean War against Russia (1854). Although at constant risk of death, the Indian sepoy faced very limited opportunities for advancement - since all positions of authority were monopolized by the Europeans.
Many of the sepoys in the Bengal Army came from the Hindi speaking plains of UP where (excluding Oudh) the British had enforced the "Mahalwari" system of taxation which involved constantly increasing revenue demands. In the first half of the 19th century - tax revenues payable to the British increased 70%. This led to mounting agricultural debts with land being mortgaged to traders and moneylenders at a very rapid rate. This inhumane system of taxation was then extended to Oudh where the entire nobility was summarily deposed.
As a result, the dissatisfaction against the British was not confined to the agricultural communities alone. By bankrupting the nobility and the urban middle class - demand for many local goods was almost eliminated. At the same time local producers were confronted with unfair competition from British imports. The consequences of this were summarized by the rebel prince Feroz Shah, in his August 1857 proclamation: "the Europeans by the introduction of English articles into India have thrown the weavers, the cotton dressers, the carpenters, the blacksmiths and the shoe-makers and others out of employ and have engrossed their occupations, so that every description of native artisan has been reduced to beggary."
Contrast this turn of events with the arrival of Mughal rule in India. Babar, in spite of his distaste for the Indian climate and customs, noted the tremendous diversity and skill of Indian craftspeople, and saw in that a great potential for expanding Indian manufacturing. Quite unlike the British, the Mughals built on the manufacturing strengths of the Indian artisan - (already well establish in the earlier Sultanate period) - and took them to dazzling heights in the later periods. But by the mid-19th century, this pre-industrial virtuosity in manufacturing had been virtually choked off by British policies. A British chronicler of the period, Thomas Lowe noted how " the native arts and manufactures as used to raise for India a name and wonder all over the western world are nearly extinguished in the present day; once renowned and great cities are merely heaps of ruins..."
All this inevitably prepared the ground for the far more widespread revolt of 1857. Although concentrated in what is now UP in modern India - the 1857 revolt spread from Dacca and Chittagong (now Bangladesh) in the East to Delhi in the West. Major urban centres in Bengal, Orissa, and Bihar including Cuttack, Sambhalpur, Patna and Ranchi participated. In Central India - the revolt spread to Indore, Jabalpur, Jhansi and Gwalior. Uprisings also took place in Nasirabad in Rajasthan, Aurangabad and Kolhapur in Maharashtra and in Peshawar on the Afghan border. But the main battleground was in the plains of UP - with every major town providing valiant resistance to the British invaders.
Starting out as a revolt of the Sepoys - it was soon accompanied by a rebellion of the civil population, particularly in the North Western Provinces and Oudh. The masses gave vent to their opposition to British rule by attacking government buildings and prisons. They raided the "treasury", charged on barracks and court houses, and threw open the prison gates. The civil rebellion had a broad social base, embracing all sections of society - the territorial magnates, peasants, artisans, religious mendicants and priests, civil servants, shopkeepers and boatmen.
For several months after the uprising began in Meerut on May 10, 1857 - British rule ceased to exist in the northern plains of India. Muslim and Hindu rulers alike joined the rebelling soldiers and militant peasants, and other nationalist fighters. Among the most prominent leaders of the uprising were Nana Sahib, Tantia Tope, Bakht Khan, Azimullah Khan, Rani Laksmi Bai, Begum Hazrat Mahal, Kunwar Singh, Maulvi Ahmadullah, Bahadur Khan and Rao Tula Ram. Former rulers had their own grievances against the British, including the notorious law on succession which gave the British the right to annexe any princely state if it lacked "legitimate male heirs".
Expressions of Popular Will
The rebels established a Court of Administration consisting of ten members - six from the army and four civilians with equal representation of Hindus and Muslims. The rebel government abolished taxes on articles of common consumption, and penalized hoarding. Amongst the provisions of its charter was the liquidation of the hated 'Zamindari' system imposed by the British and a call for land to the tiller.
Although the former princes who joined with the rebels did not go quite as far, several aspects of the proclamations issued by the former rulers are noteworthy. All proclamations were issued in popular languages. Hindi and Urdu texts were provided simultaneously. Proclamations were issued jointly in the name of both Hindus and Muslims. Feroz Shah - in his August 1857 proclamation included some significant points. All trade was to be reserved for Indian merchants only, with free use of Government steam vessels and steam carriages. All public offices were to be given to Indians only and wages of the sepoys were to be revised upwards.
Overpowered by British Might, Betrayed by the Princes
Threatened by such a radical turn of events, the British rulers poured in immense resources in arms and men to suppress the struggle. Although the rebels fought back heroically - the betrayal by a number of rulers such as the Sikh princes, the Rajasthani princes and Maratha rulers like Scindia allowed the British to prevail. Lord Canning (then Governor General) noted that " If Scindia joins the rebels, I will pack off tomorrow". Later he was to comment: " The Princes acted as the breakwaters to the storm which otherwise would have swept us in one great wave". Such was the crucial importance of the betrayal of the princes. The British were also helped by the conservatism of the trading communities who were unwilling to put up with the uncertanties of a long drawn out rebellion.
But equally important was the superior weaponry and brutality of the British in defending their empire. British barbarity in supressing the uprising was unprecedented. After the fall of Lucknow on May 8, 1858 Frederick Engels commented: " The fact is, there is no army in Europe or America with so much brutality as the British. Plundering, violence, massacre - things that everywhere else are strictly and completely banished - are a time honoured privilege, a vested right of the British soldier ..". In Awadh alone 150,000 people were killed - of which 100,000 were civilians. The great Urdu poet, Mirza Ghalib wrote from Delhi, " In front of me, I see today rivers of blood". He went on to describe how the victorious army went on a killing spree - killing every one in sight - looting peoples property as they advanced.
Bahadur Shah's three sons were publicly executed at "Khooni Darwaaza" in Delhi and Bahadur Shah himself was blinded and exiled to Rangoon where he died in 1862. Refusing to plead for mercy from the British, he courageously retorted: " The power of India will one day shake London if the glory of self-respect remains undimmed in the hearts of the rebels". Thomas Lowe wrote: "To live in India now was like standing on the verge of a volcanic crater, the sides of which were fast crumbling away from our feet, while the boiling lava was ready to erupt and consume us"
The 1857 revolt which had forged an unshakable unity amongst Hindus and Muslims alike, was an important milestone in our freedom struggle - providing hope and inspiration for future generations of freedom lovers. However, the aftermath of the 1857 revolt also brought about dramatic changes in colonial rule. After the defeat of the 1857 national revolt - the British embarked on a furious policy of "Divide and Rule", fomenting religious hatred as never before. Resorting to rumors and falsehoods, they deliberately recast Indian history in highly communal colors and practised pernicious communal politics to divide the Indian masses. That legacy continues to plague the sub-continent today. However, if more people become aware of the colonial roots of this divisive communal gulf - it is possible that some of the damage done to Hindu-Muslim unity could be reversed. If Hindus and Muslims could rejoin and collaborate in the spirit of 1857, the sub-continent may yet be able to unshackle itself from its colonial past. |
