Answer:

The first mutiny of Indian sepoys occurred in 1764,

when a whole battalion from Hector Munro's Forces opposing Mir Qasim

at Patna joined the army of the Nawab. However, they were overpowered

and punished. This was chiefly due to lack of an understanding among the

British officers regarding the social and religious customs of the sepoys

under their charge. In order to bring about improvement and discipline in

the army, the British officers ordered the sepoys to shave their beard, to

remove the caste marks from their forehead. This enforced practice

created all kinds of apprehension and suspicion among the sepoys. This

factor led the sepoys to stage a mutiny in the fort of Vellore early in May

1806. A British contingent from Acort, brought the mutiny under control. In

1844, the 34th' Regiment at Ferozpur refused to March into Sindh, The 7th

Bengal cavalry and the 64th Regiment Followed the example of the 34th

Regiment. The mutinous troops were marched back and their ringleaders

were punished.
