Question

give an account of the immediate cause of the 1857 revolt​

Answer 1

An uprising in several sepoy companies of the Bengal army was sparked by the issue of new gunpowder cartridges for the Enfield rifle in February 1857. Loading the Enfield often required tearing open the greased cartridge with one's teeth, and many sepoys believed that the cartridges were greased with cow and pig fat.

Answer:

❣❣Immediate causes for the revolt: The greased cartridges supplied for the new Enfield, Rifles was the immediate cause for the mutiny. The cartridges had to be bitten off before loading. Believing that the fat of cow and pig had been used to grease these cartridges, both Hindus and Muslims refused to use them as the cow is sacred to the Hindus and pig is detestable to the Muslims. ❣❣
