Sure, here are the main causes of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, listed in point form:

1. Economic exploitation

• Heavy land taxes and exploitation of natural resources
• Economic policies favored British merchants and traders over Indian businesses

2. Religious and cultural oppression

• Christian missionaries actively sought converts and disparaged Hindu and Muslim beliefs
• Western education was seen as a threat to traditional Indian culture

3. Military grievances

• Indian soldiers (sepoys) were paid less than British soldiers and were subjected to harsh discipline
• New rifle cartridges that were greased with animal fat offended both Hindu and Muslim soldiers

4. Political factors

• Annexation of territories and dispossessions of Indian rulers and nobles
• British interference in local customs and traditions

5. Social factors

• The caste system and discrimination against lower castes
• Limited opportunities for upward mobility for Indians

6. Perception of the British

• Seen as arrogant, overbearing, and insensitive to Indian customs and traditions
• Increasing resentment against British rule and administration

These factors contributed to a growing sense of dissatisfaction and rebellion against British rule in India, ultimately leading to the outbreak of the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
