@misldarofficial: Bihari😂 @اُردُو کــنگــز #sikh #india #1857revolt #british #edit One reason Sikhs helped the British during the 1857 Rebellion was because, only a few years earlier, Indian sepoys serving in the British East India Company’s army had fought against the Sikh Empire during the Angl Sikh Wars. This created resentment toward the sepoys among some Sikhs another reason was that the rebellion supported the restoration of Mughal authority under Bahadur Shah Zafar. Because Sikhs had a long history of conflict with the Mughal Empire, Sikh leaders and soldiers did not want Mughal rule restored and therefore supported the British in suppressing the rebellion.
