Answer:
1. The immediate cause of the Revolt of 1857 was the Introduction of Enfield rifle, To load it, the sepoys had to bite off the ends of the cartridges, a rumour spread taht the cartridges were greased with a mixture of cow and pigs' lard (cows were considered holy by Hindus, while pigs were considered unclean by Muslims) and a rebellion was caused because the sepoys refused to use the rifles.
2. Major centres of revolt:
Lucknow
Delhi
Kanpur
Jhansi
3. In my opinion, the Indian Civil Service act was passed to associate more Indians in the act of Legislation so that the ruler could learn more about the opinions and sentiments of the Indian people
