Political Causes:-
The British policies such as Doctrine of Lapse and Subsidiary Alliance destroyed many powerful Indian kingdoms and made the kings mere pensioners. This angered the Indians.
Religious Causes:-
The Indians thought that the British were interfering in their religion when they introduced different laws such as Ban on Sati and made Women Education compulsory.
Military Causes:-
The British recruited many Indian soldiers in their army. But they were not allotted any rank higher than a Sepoy, foot soldier. Moreover, the salaries given to the Indians were very less as compared to those given to the British.
Immediate Cause:-
The British army had ordered new Enfield Rifles for the regiment. These rifles came with cartridges that had to be bitten off before losing adding into the gun. Rumours spread that these cartridges were greased with the fat of cows and pigs. Cow was holy to the Hindus and pig was detestable to the Muslims. So, Mangal Pandey, a young soldier, disobeyed the orders of using this rifle, shot down a sergeant and was then hung to death at Barrackpore on 29 March, 1857.
