Then later another 85 soldiers disobeyed orders to load
their rifles. They were arrested. The rest of the soldiers mutinies on May 19, 1857. These men marched on to Delhi and
demanded that the last Mughal Emperor, Bahadur Shah
Zafar, take over as the ruler of India and the head of the

into existence just to transport Indian resources to the markets. New roads were built, a new communications system
came into existence and a harbour was built in Bombay.
