The First Indian War of Independence, or Sepoy Rebellion, in 1857 did not achieve partial sovereignty for India; it led to direct British rule instead. While the uprising failed, it laid the foundation for future independence movements and fostered a growing sense of Indian unity. Therefore, the most accurate statement is that a growing consciousness of Indian unity, supported by a common language and technology, assisted in uniting the regions of India.
