What Can Regional Differences in the 1857 Revolt Tell Us About Resistance?

When the 1857 revolt is discussed, it can sound like one coordinated uprising across India. But accounts of where it spread, who joined, and how long resistance lasted vary sharply by region.

How do historians explain those differences without reducing the revolt to a single cause or treating areas that did not rise up as simply passive? I’m curious how local rulers, military conditions, and existing grievances shaped the regional picture.
