How did rumours play an important part in the Revolt of 1857? Explain with examples.
‘Rumours and prophecies played an important role in the Revolt of 1857.’ Explain the statement with an example.
How did the rumours play a role in moving the people to revolt against the British during 1857? Explain.
उत्तर
- Cartridges of the Enfield rifles: Biting into bullets smeared with pig and cow fat would contaminate their faith and caste. It is thought that these Sepoy lines in North India are the source of this tale.
- Flour: The British allegedly plotted to eradicate the caste system and religion of both Muslims and Hindus, according to rumors concerning bread containing bone dust. Many villagers spread the rumor that the British had added pig and cow bonedust to the wheat that was sold in the market. As a result, neither the sepoys at various cantonments nor the general populace would handle or consume their flour. Many thought it was an attempt by the British to convert Indians to Christianity. Although the British denied these rumors, nobody took notice.
- Chapattis: Every justification for transferring chapattis between communities has fallen flat. At night, someone gave the village watchman five chapattis. After that, he was told to prepare five more chapattis and serve them across the hamlet. The majority of people were still unclear about the significance of this chapatti distribution and its justification.
- Lota and khalasi issue: A Brahmin Sepoy was asked to give Khalasi, a member of a lower caste, some water from his water container. Saying that a lower caste's touch might contaminate the water, the Sepoy refused to give him his container.
