Answer 2

Answer:

Complete answer:

The introduction of the ‘Enfield Rifle’ was the immediate cause of the Revolt 1857 because it was of the opinion that the cartridge of the Enfield Rifle had to be bitten before using it. The cartridge was made up of pork and beef. For Hindus, beef was considered impure because they worshiped the sacred animal cow. On the other hand, Muslims considered pork as impure and this led to the introduction of Revolt 1857.
