1857 ceremonies begin in Meerat

Many Anglo-American authors saw this as a war between Christianity and paganism. This angle should not be brushed aside-- in India it is often ignored. 1857 did have elements of a religious war although different participants and beholders saw this differently.
Anglo-Americans: holy war on pagans and holy war on traditional Abrahmistic rivals the Mohammedans.
Moslems: Jihad on the Christians
Hindus: defense of their land first and then religious customs.

Of all participants the Hindus probably had the weakest sense of a religious war (though it was not absent). This situation has not been historical uncommon amongst Hindus- they often interpret the Abrahamistic ideologies through their lenses.

But the fact remains that there were many assaults on Hindu customs by the Britons including wanton killing or humiliation of brAhmaNas as practiced by the Islamic marauders before them.
