The White Mutiny was the unrest that occurred at the dissolution in 1858-59 of the "European Forces" of the East India Company in the aftermath of the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
There was another incident which occurred in India in 1766, the Monghyr Mutiny: a "White mutiny" among British brigadiers, on occasion of their reduced military allowances, which was suppressed by Robert Clive.[1]
[Clive] reduced military allowances or batta and quelled with characteristic vigour a 'White mutiny' organized by one of the brigadiers.
