Which of the following was NOT a cause of the Revolt of 1857?

The Revolt of 1857 had several well-documented causes. Politically, Lord Dalhousie's Doctrine of Lapse annexed states such as Jhansi and Satara, angering Indian rulers. Economically, heavy land-revenue demands and the destruction of traditional industries impoverished peasants and artisans. The immediate military spark was the new Enfield rifle cartridges, rumoured to be greased with cow and pig fat, which offended the religious sentiments of both Hindu and Muslim sepoys. In contrast, Indians being 'organized and powerful' was never a cause of the revolt — in fact, the lack of unity, coordination and central leadership among the rebels is cited as a major reason the revolt failed. Hence the option describing Indians as organized and powerful is the one that was NOT a cause.
