which of the following critiques the argument that the Indian Rebellion of 1857 caused the birth of Indian nationalsim

Answer 1

The statement "the Indian Rebellion of 1857 caused the birth of Indian nationalism" implies a direct causal relationship between the rebellion and the emergence of Indian nationalism. However, Indian nationalism can be argued to have existed before the rebellion, suggesting that other factors were at play in its formation. This critique questions the extent to which the rebellion alone led to the birth of Indian nationalism.
