Fight to preserve your religion and way of life itself is freedom fight.

The concept of nation state was still nascent.
They all rallied to reinstate Moghul Emperor Bahadur Shah is only because the institutional memory of the Moghul empire was wide spread(for some 300 years) . It got Muslims and Hindus together. And also could bring a united front. Only Sikhs who had recent bad memories of Moghul rules did not agree to the reinstallment and decided British was less worse.
But ulimately The Hindus and Sikhs knew that they had to kick out both the colonizers anyways
