The rebellion was not abrupt and sporadic but to a great extent done with planning and care. This is brought out by the following points:
1.The rebels decided to strike when the large part of the British army was in Burma.
2.The time chosen for the rebellion was summer that is very hostile weather condition for the British. Summer was also the season when the entire countryside would be easy to navigate.
3.To spread the message of rebellion, the rebels used symbols bread and lotus from village to village.
4.Efforts were made to maintain Hindu-** unity. Whenever an area would fail under rebel control, cow ***** was banned.
