History

Answer:

Explanation:

n rural highways in Bhutan, trucks hauling huge pine logs rush past women bowed beneath bundles of firewood strapped to their backs. In the capital of Thimphu, teenagers in jeans and hooded sweat shirts hang out smoking cigarettes in a downtown square, while less than a mile away, other adolescents perform a sacred Buddhist act of devotion. Archery, the national sport, remains a fervent pursuit, but American fiberglass bows have increasingly replaced those made of traditional bamboo. While it seems that every fast-flowing stream has been harnessed to turn a prayer drum inside a shrine, on large rivers, hydroelectric projects generate electricity for sale to India, accounting for almost half the country's gross national product.

A tiny nation of 700,000 people positioned uneasily between two giants—India to the south and China to the north—Bhutan was almost as isolated as the mythical realm of Shangri-La, to which it is still compared, until the early 1960s, when the first highway was constructed. Now in a sequence of carefully calibrated moves, the last independent Himalayan Buddhist kingdom has opened itself to the outside world, building better roads, mandating instruction in English for schoolchildren, establishing a television network and introducing Internet service. This month, citizens will conclude voting for a two-house parliament that will turn the country from a traditional monarchy into a constitutional one. The elections were mandated by the fourth king, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, before he abdicated in favor of his then 26-year-old son, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, at the end of 2006. Two political parties scrambled into existence after the decree.

What was the main reason behind the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The Sepoy Rebellion of 1857 was an uprising against the colonial rulers in British India. It was the largest uprising of the 19th century against a colonial ruler, anywhere in the world. The rebellion began with a mutiny of sepoys, Indian soldiers employed by the British, in Bengal. From that area the rebellion spread over Hindustan. It became a serious threat to the British when Indian princes such as the nawab of Awadh and the Mogul emperor in Delhi chose the side of the mutiny.  

The sepoys were Indian auxiliary troops deployed by the British colonial administration. They included both Hindus and Muslims. In 1857 their number was of 190,000 men, who were paid by the East India Company.  

There was general dissatisfaction with the way the English treated the Indian princes and with the exploitation of the impoverished farmers. The uprising broke out as a result of the discovery that rifle bullets were smeared with pork or beef fat, causing both Hindus and Muslims to be hurt in their religious feelings. The rebellion was initiated by Mangal Pandey and the main captain was Nana Sahib.

However, the uprising failed because most of the princes remained loyal to the British administration and other indigenous troops such as the Sikhs and Gurkhas did not join. The uprising lasted until the beginning of 1858 and was eventually suppressed by the English with barbaric punishment. It led to the collapse of the British East India Company and to placing British India under the English crown. The Sepoy regiments were then reorganized.
