Journal Title: İzmir Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This work deals with the Bengal army troops established by the British East India Company. It is aimed to determine the reasons of the rebellion of the army of Indian soldiers in 1857. With this study, the society in which the Hindu and Muslim soldiers were trained in the Bengali army, the classes in the caste system, their religious beliefs and their effects on the rebellion were determined. The biggest reason for the uprising was that the relations between the local soldiers and the British commanders were bad, and the wave of hatred against the British in the army was inevitably increased. It has been discovered that Bengali soldiers believe that they have been wronged by the British, from their salary to their promotion in the army. It was pointed out that the soldiers had the idea that the British wanted to Christianize them by slowly breaking away from their religious beliefs.
