Imperialisms Aftermath The Sepoy Rebellion was a moment in history that brought change to the India culture and life. Innocent Indian lives were lost because of the decision of the Sepoy. Britain had control over the East India Company and they still had some differences to settle. After the long wars ended, India had no choice but lo live with the British. Britain sent troops to India and taxed the people even more for what they have done. India had to undergo all of this but they had to gain their own liberty because Britain was making decisions that benefited the mother country, not India. Famines came, and Britain just had to get the country out of that situation, but India suffered damage because families were lost. These events pushed India to look for a self ruled government or an independence from Britain. It was gained through a lot of work but it took too long. India needs to break away from the rule of Britain. Many of the citizens of India are educated enough to know what went on in society. Our people know how to run a modern society and they will guide us through our independence. We are very industrialized and our lives won’t be that hard. We can change our culture along with the modernization, and religion won’t have to be so harsh. Culture will flourish with the Hindus and the Muslims. Modernized Indians can bring our old fashioned Indians to become modern without having to be so harsh like the British. Our country will become united and culture won’t have to be a problem. We can have our own weapons that will protect us and that won’t offend us.
Dear Snickers, My husband has been sent home because he refused to bite of the cartridge of his rifle. The cartridge had pig and cow fat smeared all over the cartridge, and the fat is part of the sacred animal that us Hindus can’t eat, cows. Now he is home and he wants to find a way to get his word out. What should I do? -Sundance
Dear Sundance, I’m sorry about your husband. Not wanting to bite off the cartridge isn’t a fair reason to be sent home. The British are trying top break our spirits and they are trying to bring us down. They think that they are so powerful! Now about your husband, tell him to start his own army. The situation is all over India and many others will do the same. Eventually, a big army will be formed and your husband will part of that brave force. Hoorah, SEPOY REVENGE! XOXO Snickers
Dear Snickers, I’m a Brahmin in the Hindu society. I went through many reincarnations to get this rank, and now the British took it away. Now I am degraded in this new social class! What do I do? -Siddhartha Dear Siddhartha, Siddhartha, you let your guard down. The British had no right to take your title away. You should go and confront them about this, fight for what you believe in. You were here first; forget the British and what they think, do what your heart is telling you. Uses the powers that you were suppose to be given and assume your position! XOXO Snickers
Dear Snickers, I have cometh to asketh you for someth advice-eth! So my kids are being taught Christianity and western ideas and they’re becoming… well… BRITISH! My mother, who is Hindu and very traditional, is upset about this. I don’t want to cause a fight in the family and I’m the man in the family. What is the manliest thing that I can do? -BigGuyShmeel
Dear BigGuyShmeel, I suggest you should take your children out of school and you should home school them. Convince them that Christianity and western ideas are bad. Teach them your family’s culture and educate them so that they wont be ignorant. Be man about it and I hope my advice helps. XOXO Snickers
Sepoy Rebellion against Imperialist Hounds! By: Julio Chen Date: 1857 May The sepoys rebelled against the Imperialist hound, Britain. Britain interfered with India's way of life and culture. The British government has tried to abolish the caste system and the traditions such as the sati, which a widowed woman kills herself after her husband dies. They gave Indian cartridges containing cow fat which they have to break open with their teeth and send Indian troops over-seas. This was against the Hindu religion to travel over-seas and to taste cow. Christian missionaries converted Indians into Christians. These British scoundrels cannot tell us what to do or believe in. There is hatred in the air, and the inevitable rebellion began. The native Indian soldiers or known as sepoys, took upon the Hindu's burden and battled the Britain dogs. The rebellion broke out in Meerut, after the sepoys refused to use their new cartridges and were sent to jail. The other sepoys freed the arrested sepoys and went on a massacre to kill any European officers. They headed to the Dehli where they were joined by more Indians. Bahadur Shah, who was the former emperor, became the leader of this group. The sepoys killed every European and Christian in Dehli. The British responded and attacked the sepoys. This was a glorious fight between the sepoys and the British troops.
