White mutiny

The White mutiny was a mutiny among the European regiments of the East India Company's Presidency armies as they were integrated into the British Army between 1858 and 1859. Occurring in the aftermath of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the mutiny started due to concerns by the regiment's troops over their integration into the British army. It was quickly and bloodlessly suppressed by British colonial authorities.
