Aftermath:

This defeat of the Indians strengthened the control of the British over India and their rule
prolonged. The Mughal rule came to an end and Bahadur Shah || was imprisoned.

The people who participated in the war against the British were brutally hanged and killed.
Moreover, the British denied ranks to the Indians and implemented harsh policies to prevent further
uprisings.

The rule of East India Company came to an end and India was taken over by the Queen of
England (became a colony). As a result, the corrupt and unlawful activities of the company also
ended.

The blame for the entire war was put on the Muslims and the British decided not to cooperate with
them. As a result, the Muslims suffered politically, socially and financially.

On the other hand, the Hindus joined hands with the new government, accepted their system and
education.

The British passed the Vernacular Act of 1878 to place strict controls on the newspapers that
gave birth to nationalist ideas.

To say the least, the 1857 Indian Mutiny changed the history of the Indian subcontinent in many
ways because the control of the British even improved and they became even more determined to
rule India.

Conclusion:

With this, our topic about the War of Independence of 1857 has come to an end. This was a very
important event in the history of the Indian subcontinent.
