Few if any ever consider the parallels between the United States experience and the Indian one. Both were colonies until it became unbearable. The Great Revolt of 1855 represented a great burst within the country which expressed the oppression they felt under the English. I guess, that’s the point. We both felt the English oppression intolerable.
Modern times: If an Indian untouchable can save up rupees, learn English, groom properly, get an education and join the world economy, I’m all for it!
The Sepoy rebellion was initially Muzzis going Jihad. There was some spread to the Hindoo, but it was largely a Muzzi operation.
