Great Revival of 1857-1858

The Great Revival of 1857-1858 was a widespread religious movement in India, aiming to renew and strengthen Hindu and Muslim faiths in response to social and cultural challenges posed by British colonial rule. Leaders emerged to promote spiritual renewal, moral reform, and unity among Indians. This revival helped bolster Indian cultural identity and pride during a period of political upheaval following the Sepoy Mutiny. It laid the foundation for future social and religious movements, emphasizing traditional values and fostering a sense of national consciousness.
