I think that the issue of the enfield rifle to the sepoys is the main cause of the first war of independence.the enfield rifle's bullet has a water proof covering which was actually made of pig fat.the hindu and muslim sepoys felt offended when they were forced to use the rifle. this act sparked the sepoy mutiny , which is also known as the 1st war of independence.
