SOURCE A
On 6th May, 1857 A.D. 85 out of 90 Indian soldiers at Meerut refused to bite the greased cartridges with
their teeth. These 85 soldiers were court-martialled and imprisoned for 10 years. They were stripped off
their uniforms in the presence of the entire Indian crowd. It was too much of a disgrace and this incident
sent a wave of indignation. On 10th May 1857, the Indian soldiers at Meerut broke into open revolt. They
released their companions and murdered a few European officers. On the night of 10th May the mutineers
marched to Delhi and reached there on 11th May.
