Hi friend,
Causes of the Revolt:
Political Causes:
The political causes of the revolt may be traced to the British policy of expansion through the Doctrine of Lapse and direct annexation. A large number of Indian rulers and chiefs were dislodged, thus arousing fear in the minds of other ruling families who apprehended a similar fate.
Social and Religious Causes:
A large section of the population was alarmed by the rapid spread of Western civilisation in India. An Act in 1850 changed the Hindu law of inheritance enabling a Hindu who had converted into Christianity to inherit his ancestral properties. Besides, the missionaries were allowed to make conversions to Christianity all over India. The people were convinced that the Government was planning to convert Indians to Christianity.
Economic Causes:
In rural areas, peasants and zamindars resented the heavy taxes on land and the stringent methods of revenue collection followed by the Company. Many among these groups were unable to meet the heavy revenue demands and repay their loans to money lenders, eventually losing the lands that they had held for generations.

The causes of the revolt are -
(1) The policy of annexation, the Doctrine of Lapse of Lord Dalhousie, created fear and resentment among Indian rulers.
(2) Indian peasants were tortured or jailed on failure to pay the revenue in time.
(3) The spread of railways created further fear among the poor and illiterate sections of the society.
(4) The Indian Sepoys were humiliated by the British.
(5) The immediate cause of the revolt was the incidents of grease cartridge.
(6) The British singed many treaties with the Kings but violated them, as per their convenience.
(7) The common people faced unemployment and poverty.
(8) The division of society among the caste and communical lines was disturbing.
(9) The Industrial policy of the British destroyed Indian industries, artisans and peasants under the company's rule.
(10) There was no unity among the rebels. The ideas of nationalism had not yet developed.
Hope it helps you.
