Explanation

The 1857 mutiny was indeed suppressed by the British after bitter fighting. While many feudal lords remained loyal or neutral, some like Rani of Jhansi and Tantya Tope did participate actively. However, the majority of feudal leadership stayed away or supported the British, which was a factor in the suppression. The Reason statement is factually correct but doesn't fully explain the suppression - superior British organization, reinforcements, and divide-and-rule tactics were more critical.
