The 1857 uprising forced the British to alter their policies.
The British Crown directly took over the Indian government following the uprising of 1857. As a result, the Crown now has the authority that the East India Company once held.
The subsequent modifications were made:
1)      Abolition of the Doctrine of Lapse policy.
2)      The number of Indian sepoys in the army was decreased so that they would not be able to rebel against the British in the future.
3)      Additional improvements were made to landowners' and zamindars' rights.
4)      The Crown pledged to respect people's right to practice their religions.
5)      Two officials were chosen to oversee Indian society: a Viceroy and a Secretary of State.
