Summary

In 1857, a rumor about rifle cartridges made with animal fat helped ignite one of the most important uprisings in the history of the British Empire. What began as a mutiny among Indian soldiers soon became a massive rebellion that swept across northern India, toppled cities, revived emperors, and nearly shattered colonial rule. The conflict was brutal, complex, and ended one of the most powerful private corporations in history. Learn more about the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and how a military revolt became a turning point in Indian history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
