Project on vision of unity behind …

The first war of Independence was a period of rebellions in northern and central India against British  and it is referred to as the Sepoy Mutiny. It was a vision of Unity which brought the Hindu and Muslims together when Indian soldiers rebelled against their British officers over violation of their religious feelings.

• The rebellion was widely followed by the Muslim uprising, and there was equal participation by the Hindus when the British Army inducted a new type of rifle whose cartridge was said to be greased in cow and pig fat.
• Since the Hindus consider the cow a sacred animal and do not eat beef, on the other hand the  Muslims consider it an offense to consume pork. The entire Indian part of the British Army rose in rebellion against the British.
• This was widely acknowledged as the first ever united rebellion against colonial rule in India which was driven by Mangal Pandey who was a Sepoy in the colonial British army
