    History Test – Section 1 – Source Based - M Shafey – 30-03-2021

    SECTION 1:

    A painting of a British official of the British East India Company riding in an Indian  procession in 1825.

    Q:  What does the source tell us about the British East India Company in 1825?

    Source A
    Full accounts of the earlier scenes of the recent revolt in the Bengal army have now reached us.
    Several regiments have broken out into open mutiny, murdered their officers and entered into
    direct rebellion against the British government. At present revolt seems to be confined to the
    army of Bengal, the largest and most important of the three presidencies, and only about 8000
    men have taken part. Everywhere else, according to reports received, all is quiet and the native
    army is true to its duty.

    An account of the events of 1857, written in an English newspaper in June 1857.

    (a) According to Source A how widespread was the ‘revolt’? (3)


    Source B     The public hanging of Indians who took part in the War of Independence.

    (b) What does the Source B tells is about British attitudes towards the uprising? (5)

    (c) Why did the war break out in 1857? (7)

    (d) How successful was Sir Syed Ahmad Khan in restoring the reputation of the Muslims in the

    eyes of the British in the years after the war? (10)

    Source: As the morale and commitment of Muslims increased it was inevitable that with
    the right leadership some Muslims would take part in more agitation against the British.
    It was clear that the Muslim identity in India would continue to gain strength. One such
    man was Titu Mir.

    Q Who was Titu Mir? [4]

    Examiner Comments: In part (a), the short answer question on Titu Mir was rarely
    Answered for full marks
    Q Source:Anger over British control of parts of the sub-continent had been growing
    over
    manyyears during the first half of the nineteenth century. The introduction of the
    Doctrine
    of Lapse was especially hated by the Indians.
    Q. What was the Doctrine of Lapse? [4]

    Q Source:With the slow crumbling of the Mughal Empire, the only question left in the
    earlyeighteenth century was who would pick up the pieces. Few observers could have
    guessed that the East India Company would have played such a major role.
