Also consider their actions during the second Anglo-Boer war where they put the Boer civilians in concentration camps leading to the death of as much as 10% of the population, this was in early 1900s and was done to their fellow "whites". So one can only imagine what these brutes did to dark skinned "heathens" much earlier in 1857.
On a side note there is still a street in Delhi named after Havelock who was responsible for many atrocities while suppressing 1857.
