Which of the following was a result of the Sepoy
Mutiny or rebellion in 1857?
A. The British East India Company raised
taxes.
B. India declared its independence.
C. India adapted Christianity.
D. The British East India Company took
direct control of India.
E. The British government ended the rule of
the British East India Company
Answer: E.
The Sepoy Mutiny or Rebellion resulted in the British government ruling India directly as a colony. The British controlled India through the British East India Company until 1857. The British, who crushed the Sepoy Native Indian Troops, changed their policy after 1857. The government ended the rule of the British East India Company in 1858 and assumed control of the colony, ruling British India as a colony and ruling the native states indirectly as protectorates through British advisors. The British East India Company did not raise taxes since it did not control India after 1858. India did not achieve independence until after World War II. Hindu, not Christianity, is the major religion of India.
