Q. Who was the Governor-General of India during the ‘Sepoy Mutiny’?

Detailed Solution for Test: AFCAT Past Year Papers 1/2014 - Question 26

A major cause of resentment that arose ten months prior to the outbreak of the Rebellion was the General Service Enlistment Act of 25 July 1856.
As noted above, men of the Bengal Army had been exempted from overseas service.
Specifically they were enlisted only for service in territories to which they could march.
Governor-General Lord Dalhousie saw this as an anomaly, since all sepoys of the Madras and Bombay Armies and the six "General Service" battalions of the Bengal Army had accepted an obligation to serve overseas if required.
As signed into effect by Lord Canning, Dalhousie's successor as Governor-General, the Act required only new recruits to the Bengal Army to accept a commitment for general service.
