3A. One example of an indigenous movement that resisted imperial expansion during the 19th or early 20th century is the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny.<br /><br />3B. The Indian Rebellion of 1857 emerged in response to the British East India Company's policies, which were seen as oppressive and exploitative by the Indian soldiers (sepoys) and the local population. One of the main reasons for the rebellion was the introduction of the Enfield rifle, which required soldiers to bite off the ends of lubricated cartridges rumored to be greased with cow and pig fat. This was deeply offensive to both Hindu and Muslim soldiers, as it violated their religious beliefs.<br /><br />3C. The consequence of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 for the indigenous people involved was significant. The rebellion led to the dissolution of the British East India Company and the establishment of direct control of India by the British Crown. This shift in governance resulted in the implementation of new policies that further marginalized and oppressed the Indian population, including the imposition of heavy taxes, the destruction of traditional industries, and the disruption of social and cultural practices.
