Democracy (different than greek version) existed in India even before very existence of America or Thomas Jefferson.
1857 was much against forceful agenda of missionaries through east India Company. It was alienation against foreign culture and religion.
Muslim invaders were ruthless and were able to subjugate Indian forceful and able to suppress Hindu religion.
