Explanation:
1. Vellore Mutiny:
The Vellore Mutiny took place on 10th July 1806 in Vellore, Tamil Nadu. It was one of the earliest and significant mutinies in India's struggle for independence against British colonial rule. The mutiny was led by sepoys of the 1st Battalion of the Madras Native Infantry. The sepoys were unhappy with several British policies, including the introduction of a new type of headdress and the lack of religious freedom. They attacked the British officers and took control of the Vellore Fort. However, the mutiny was eventually suppressed by the British forces.
2. Mutiny of 47th Native Infantry Unit:
The Mutiny of the 47th Native Infantry Unit occurred in Barrackpore, West Bengal, in 1824. The sepoys of the 47th Native Infantry were dissatisfied with their pay and working conditions. They protested against the use of the new Enfield rifle cartridges, which were rumored to be greased with animal fat, offensive to both Hindu and Muslim sepoys. The mutiny was suppressed by British forces, and several sepoys were court-martialed and executed.
3. Mutiny in Solapur:
The Mutiny in Solapur took place in 1857 during the larger Indian Rebellion of 1857. The sepoys of the 14th and 15th Bengal Native Infantry stationed in Solapur rebelled against the British. They were inspired by the news of the uprising in other parts of the country and joined the rebellion. The mutiny was eventually suppressed by British forces, and many sepoys were captured or killed.
4. Mutiny of 34th Native Infantry:
The Mutiny of the 34th Native Infantry occurred in 1857 in Barrackpore, West Bengal. The sepoys of the 34th Native Infantry were influenced by the ongoing rebellion in other parts of India and decided to join the mutiny. They killed their British officers and took control of the barracks. However, the mutiny was suppressed by British forces, and the sepoys were severely punished.
Therefore, the correct chronological order of the Sepoy Mutinies is 3-4-2-1: Vellore Mutiny, Mutiny of 47th Native Infantry Unit, Mutiny in Solapur, and Mutiny of 34th Native Infantry.
