Question

Historian Kim Wagner has argued that this conflict sparked recurrent colonial anxieties in what Thomas R. Metcalf described as “an enduring legacy of (-5[1])fear.” In this conflict, James Neill (10[1])forced many prisoners to lick blood-stained buildings before being hanged or “blown from a gun.” (10[1])One official (10[4])received (10[1])the derogatory (10[1])nickname (-5[1])“Clemency Canning” (10[2])during this (10[1])conflict. (10[4])Many nobles joined this conflict (10[2])after having their lands expropriated (10[2])by the Doctrine of Lapse, (10[4])such (10[1]-5[1])as (10[1])the widow (10[1])Rani (10[2]-5[1])of (10[1])Jhansi. (10[7])Bahadur (10[1]-5[1])Shah (10[1])Zafar (10[2]-5[1])was (10[1])convicted of treason and exiled to (10[1])Burma after this conflict. (10[2])This (-5[1])rebellion began after rumors that (10[1])new (10[1])Enfield (10[3])rifle (10[2])cartridges (10[3])were greased (10[2])with (10[2])cow (-5[1])and pig fat. For (10[1])10 points, (10[1])the British Raj was created after what major soldier’s revolt (10[1])against the British East (10[1])India Company? ■END■ (10[2]0[3])

ANSWER: Sepoy Rebellion [or Sepoy Revolt or Sepoy Mutiny or the Indian Mutiny of 1857 or the Indian Rebellion of 1857; prompt on Great Rebellion or First War of Independence] (Kim Wagner’s argument is from the article “‘Treading Upon Fires’: The ‘Mutiny’-Motif and Colonial Anxieties in British India.”)
