- Abstract
The British origin East India Company, which started its long-running adventure of India at the beginning of the 17th century, wanted to be permanent in this land. In this direction, as opposed to the states coming to the region, the company, which primarily directed to more moderate and permanent commercial relations, established an activity area in the Mughal Palace in a short time. Since it is necessary to protect its activity and its accomplishments, it has started a policy of military structuring. The company which has a sensitive policy was especially in the protection of commercial centres. In order to increase the number of soldiers benefited from the local soldiers with name Sepoy. These soldiers were under the command of British officers. Initially, the high fidelity left by the insurrection fed by the independence impulses. The soldiers of the British East India Company were now standing against the British. At this point, Sepoys, who became a rebel army as a result of many reasons, were referred to as the pioneers of the independence movement in the history of India. This study will focus on how Sepoys are involved in the army of the British East India Company, and then for what reasons they start an uprising.
