Bose's Rebellion

Bose's Rebellion refers to a significant incident in 1857 in India, mostly driven by Indian soldiers (sepoys) in the British East India Company's army. It stemmed from widespread discontent towards British rule, particularly due to cultural insensitivity and economic exploitation. The rebellion began when sepoys protested against the use of animal fat in rifle cartridges, which violated their religious beliefs. It escalated into a broader uprising against colonial authority, leading to a violent struggle for independence. Although ultimately suppressed, Bose's Rebellion marked a crucial turning point in India's fight for freedom, highlighting the growing desire for self-rule among Indians.
