Hamaara 1857

OTL and context
In Indian history,the revolt of 1857 (also known as the Indian Mutiny,The first Indian war of Independence,etc) was a colossal failure and those who commited it met terrible fates.

First of all how did this revolution start?

Well,the East India Company had controlled India for years and had many soldiers from there serving in their army.In fact,when the British fought Indian kings,often it would be Indians fighting alongside the British,seemingly in want of their own kings to submit to colonial rule!

The problem arose when the British got the new Enfield rifles.These soldiers were not Christians like the British,but they were Hindus and Muslims.Hindus were forbidden from eating cows,and Muslims were forbidden from eating pigs.The British,to cut costs,used cow and pig fat to make grease for these rifles.They also revolted as they were made to serve in distant lands,were payed very little,and because of the way the British essentially took over smaller Indian kingdoms.Thus,with the support of some Indian rulers,the soldiers rebelled.

Images(from top to bottom)Indian rulers Bahadur Shah Zafar of Delhi,Nana Saheb of Bithur,Begum Hazrat Mahal of Awadh,and Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi,all of whom played a prominent role in the revolt.

In this timeline,the revolt succeeded and Bahadur Shah was crowned Emir of Hindustan(OTL Pakistan minus disputed regions),Protector of Lahore,and Jahanpahah.The other rulers too were made to rule over territories of theirs.
