Question

The other day I visited Old Delhi with my uncle. On our way, we passed
by a gateway whose walls had big holes. My uncle told me that it was
Kashmiri Cate. During the Revolt of 1857, the British soldiers attacked
it with cannonballs and those holes were cannon marks. Why was the
gate attacked by the British? Why did the revolt take place?​

An uprising in several sepoy companies of the Bengal army was sparked by the issue of new gunpowder cartridges for the Enfield rifle February, 1857. ... Many sepoys believed that the cartridges were greased with cow and pig fat.
