British rule in Himachal Pradesh

The Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the First War of Indian Independence and the Sepoy Mutiny, was a prolonged period of armed uprisings in different parts of India, against British occupation of that part of the subcontinent.

The first Indian war of independence resulted due to the build-up of political, social, economic, religious and military grievance against the British.

As a result, Sunder Singh left the throne [clarification needed] and established an independent domain named Tantpalan.

The rulers of Bushahr acted in a hostile manner to the interests of the British.

The provinces of Chamba, Mandi and Bilaspur made a good rate of progress in various fields during the British rule.
