Please remove that ✝ sign which is added with the name of Rani Laxmi Bai as she was never a Christian. She was a proud Hindu🕉️ Jai Shree Ram 14.139.41.92 (talk) 19:18, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a cross, it's a dagger (†), indicating death. ― Ö S M A N (talk · contribs) 11:51, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the sign added with the name of Rani Laxmi Bai

Remove that sign and add 🕉️ sign instead Thanks 14.139.41.92 (talk) 19:19, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a cross, it's a dagger (†), indicating death. ― Ö S M A N (talk · contribs) 11:53, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What does that suggested sign even mean? Slatersteven (talk) 13:12, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It means Lakshmibai is dead. ― Ö S M A N (talk · contribs) 13:16, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As does the cross, which is more readily understandable to English-speaking people. Slatersteven (talk) 14:14, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What I'm saying is that the article says "Rani Lakshmibai †" (meaning she was killed in action), but the IP confused the † sign for a Christian cross (✝️) so I'm just clarifying. ― Ö S M A N (talk · contribs) 11:35, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The title of the search should be changed to War of Independence. Rebellion is a shameful word for thousands who have sacrificed their lives. 182.178.250.105 (talk) 18:02, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: see above Cannolis (talk) 19:45, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

title is biased

the use of the word " rebellion" is biased as it implies a negative connotation. It is b3tter to use the term " indian independence movement" 5.237.10.165 (talk) 14:04, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The what? Slatersteven (talk) 13:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Result is wrong

The result is little bit wrong, it leads to the fall of company rule for which the rebellion was for and begin or leads to the British Raj or direct crown rule 2409:4051:2D8F:7A80:CC21:1C4E:C85F:967C (talk) 03:05, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That may have been the result, but the EIC was British, and so was direct British rule, so therefore was it not a British victory? Slatersteven (talk) 10:43, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No company and crown both were different. The rebellion was not against crown but was against East India company rule, their was indirect rule of britain before rebellion. After rebellion the east india company rule ended and lead to start of direct crown rule from British Empire.

It's like saying during American revolutionary war, it was British victory as colonizers or patriot forces were also majority british. It's misleading.

You can write in result: End of company rule in India.

Beginning of British Raj or direct crown rule. It's accurate

What? Sorry that makes no sense, the Company was British, many of the troops were British and they won. It was a Brirsh victory. Butr this is all I am going to say, your argument makes no sense. Slatersteven (talk) 11:44, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Buddy company lost all of India administration to British crown. Are you some joke sitting here without knowing a little bit of history. I have done MA in Indian History. One more thing is wrong and pretty sure you also don't known it The main cause of mutiny was not land taxes etc they were indirect reasons but the main cause of the rebellion was a fake rumour that the company new cartridges were greased with pig and cow fat which lead to outrage amoung both Muslims and Hindu soldiers and they refused to open it with mouth after which they killed their British officers and marched towards delhi to meet shah jaffar. It is nowhere mentioned in here too. If someone went to give government exam by reading this Wikipedia page he will fail all the questions😂 2409:4051:2D8F:7A80:CC21:1C4E:C85F:967C (talk) 13:09, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
