ABSTRACT
From 1803A.D. TO 1857A.D. the colonial power i.e. the East India Company ruled over Mewat. The colonial power terribly exploited the poor masses of Mewat because the foundation or the very base of this colonial power was mainly based on force, shear exploitation and on atrocities. How could the bold Mewatis, who were the lovers of freedom, tolerate it? Unfortunately such a situation gave birth to the revolt of 1857. The brave Mewatis continued their fight against the mighty colonial power for a very long time. Now, here, a pertinent question emerges that what were the causes of the revolt of 1857 in Mewat.
