It was the Sepoy Rebelion - this rebellion was a fight against the rule of the British in India and it took place in 1857-1858.

The British Raj was established as a consequence, to prevent future rebellions.

All the other events are from a different time, for example, the creation of the Indian National Congress and the All-India Muslim League were events that led to independence in 1947.
