Explanation:

Much of the strength of 1857 revolt lay in Hindu-Muslim unity. The Hindu and the Muslim rebels and sepoys respected each other’s sentiments.
Besides state machineries, rebels also attacked money lenders and rich. They took advantage of revolt to destroy moneylenders account books and record of debts. Revolt did not spread to South India and most of eastern and western India because these regions had repeatedly rebelled earlier. Rebels wanted to restore the pre-British world of eighteenth century. This was evident from the fact that rebels directly marched to Delhi from Meerut and appealed to Mughal emperor to accept the leadership of the revolt.
