Disarmament of the 26th Indian regiment
This source is a secondary source. It is an image showing the disarmament of the 26th Indian regiment at Barrackpore, during the Indian Mutiny in 1857. This began as the mutiny of the Indian soldiers of the British East India Company's army, known as the mutiny of Sepoy's, occurring on the 10th of May 1857, in the town of Meerut. The perspective of this source is that of a political one, showing the attempt to remove the threat and calm the situation down. This source is not very reliable as it is not a primary source, meaning the events may not have occurred in this manner, and may have been in different form. The source is limited due to the lack information as it is only an image of the occurrence, and does not include any writing or documentation proving this happened how the picture is laid out. From examining this source, we can see that this image is slightly helpful with research by a historian, as it gives them a rough idea of what happened during the disarmament at Barrackpore.
