Answer:

The Indians couldn't unite against the British during the sepoy mutiny because of the weak leadership and controversial splits between both the Muslims and Hindus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sepoy mutiny which occurred in 1857 was the revolt by many Indian groups against the British.

It was however unsuccessful as it was led by a group of disgruntled Indian soldiers working for the British.

The sepoy mutiny made the British government to directly take over charge of India from the British East India Company, a sovereignty under the British Crown.

Also, the rebellion was a first war of independence by the Indians.
