Was India Better Under the British ?

.
Marathas were also the contenders,Lakhmi Baitoo achieved martyrdom .Sepoy mutiny was initiated by Bengal devision which consisted higher hindu cast Bhumihar Brahmins and Rajputs .Who were the main cause of revolt.Due to this later even martial status from Bhumihars land oweners of gangetic plains were withdrawn.

I have not denied the role Hindus played in the mutiny as well. There was certainly rebellion inside the Bengal Army (ranks) as well due to the caste issues. But the forces were from three presidencies at the time: Bombay, Madras & Bengal. The Bombay & Madras regiments did not have the problem that the Bengal Army did. The short term event that triggered the mutiny was the greased cartridges, where the sepoys had to bite the cartridges allegedly greased with pork (offensive to Muslims) or beef (sacred to Hindus). Anyways, Muslims were at the forefront of the mutiny, Bahadur Shah Zafar was declared the emperor of India, & in the aftermath of the mutiny, the last Mughal king & the family was killed, & the Muslims had to bear much for the events in 1857. Leaders such as Maulana Khairabadi & Ahmedullah Shah called for Jihad. A significant proportion of the insurgents in Delhi were Muslims. And that is where the Indian Mutiny eventually climaxed, when the British defeated the mutiny.
