The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to include the options to answer this question. However, we are going to answer it based on our knowledge of the topic.

Many native Indians distrusted Enlightenment ideas about liberty and equality for all and therefore did not push for independence from Britain. What made these Indians wary of the enlightenment ideals that may have inspired the revolution was the fact that many Indians were not ready to extend equal rights to women or to the members of the lower castes.

Let's have in mind that we are talking about a time in which Indian people had very strict social classes and belief systems that, among them, did not allow women many rights or privileges.

These were the times of British rule in India. So believe it or not, many Indians had to think twice about what was the best for them: a change of the British rule in India because they were tired of teh British exploiting their many natural resources and raw material, or a change in a millennial society that was totally centered in man's domination.
