Correct Answer: 11 May, 1857


Solution : The correct answer is 11 May 1857 .

On 10 May 1857, a group of sepoys in Meerut refused to use the new cartridges, leading to their arrest and subsequent imprisonment. The next day, on 11 May, their fellow sepoys arrived at the Red Fort in Delhi to seek support from Bahadur Shah II, the last Mughal emperor. The rebellion quickly spread to other parts of Northern India, including Delhi, Kanpur, Lucknow, and Jhansi. Civilian populations, including peasants and local rulers, also joined the uprising.
