Canada ping.

One thing: I thought it was called the SEPOY Rebellion that triggered the draconian gun laws the Empire placed on India. I had never heard of the Indian Rebellion until this article.

I need to read more Asian history.

It was. "The [Indian] rebellion is also known as India's First War of Independence, the Great Rebellion, the Indian Mutiny, the Revolt of 1857, the Uprising of 1857 and the Sepoy Mutiny". ;-)
