The soldiers at Meerut started their journey to Delhi on May 10, 1857, during the Sepoy Mutiny (also known as the Indian Rebellion of 1857). The revolt began when Indian soldiers, known as sepoys, rebelled against the British East India Company’s rule. The uprising spread rapidly, and on May 10, after mutinying against their British officers, the sepoys marched to Delhi, where they declared the last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah II, as their leader, marking a significant moment in the rebellion.
