Explanation

The 1857 revolt began at Barrackpore (March 29), spread to Meerut (May 10) and Delhi (May 11-12), then expanded to Lucknow later (May 30-June). Lucknow was one of the last major centers to witness the inception of the revolt. The timing shows the rebellion's progression - it started in eastern India and moved toward Lucknow, which joined after the initial flashpoints had already erupted.
