Detailed Solution

Agra was not a centre of the Revolt of 1857.
Kanpur, Jhansi, Lucknow, and Gwalior were significant cities in this uprising. India was subject to British dominion for almost 200 years. The British began meddling in the religious affairs and other social customs of Hindus and Muslims, which enraged the Indians and led to their violent uprising in 1857. The policies of blatant discrimination, exploitation of land revenue, and greased cartridges were the major causes of the revolt of 1857. Other names for the Indian Rebellion of 1857 include the Sepoy Mutiny, Indian Mutiny, First War of Independence, and First Struggle for Independence of North India. It started as a sepoy rebellion on May 10, 1857, at Meerut, British East India.
