Answer 2

Answer:

Sepoy was angry with the British because of the discriminatory policies.

Explanation:

Britishers deployed Indian soldiers in the army to consolidate the empire of the East India company. These Indians were hired on the rank of sepoy and faced huge discrimination.

The release of the new Enfield rifle served as the justification for the uprising. The sepoys had to bite off the ends of lubricated cartridges in order to load it. The sepoys had heard a rumor that the grease used to lubricate the cartridges was made of a combination of pig and cow tallow, making it offensive to both Muslims and Hindus to have oral contact with it. There is no concrete proof that any of the cartridges in question actually had either of these compounds on them. The idea that the cartridges were poisoned, however, only served to fuel a greater worry that the British were attempting to undermine Indian traditional society. The British, on the other hand, did not pay enough attention to the escalating sepoy unrest.

These became reasons for discontent and led to the revolt of 1857.
