Restlessness and chaos were prevailing in the society. To take advantage of this Muslim decline, the Hindu reformers had started the reformation movements. They were trying to promote the political and religious wisdom and consciousness of the Hindus. On the other side, the British were trying to dispel the memories of the Muslim rule from the minds of the Muslims. They were adopting hostile policies against the Muslims, and they were supporting every step which was not in the favour of the Muslims. Consiquently, the glory of Bahadur Shah Zafar (1775-1862) and his rule dwindled and waned. The mutiny of 1857 not only put to an end the rule of the Muslims but it also damaged their dignity. The Indian Muslims who ruled over the sub-continent for almost one thousand years were now under intimidation. The Hindus were given undue favour in the fields of education, politics, trade, administration and government, but the Muslims were penalized and put to suppression. At that time, they were very grieved, heartbroken and defeated which put them on to the route of an all-out rebellion. The outcomes of this heroic but failed revolt, for the sub-continent in general and for the Indian Muslims in particular, were immeasurably large. 1857 is, therefore, marked as a watershed in the history of Muslim India.
