Answer:
In the year 1857 Enfield rifle was introduced in the Indian millitary
Introduction of a new gun (Enfield rifle) in the year 1857 in the army became an immediate reason for the revolt. Before loading the cartridge sit was necessary to rip the paper cover with the teeth. The rumour was spread all over like a wildfire that the paper covers were coated either with pigs fat or cows fat. This hurt the religious sentiments of Hindu and Muslims. Soldiers who refused to use it were punished.
