Answer:
The spark that led to a mutiny in several sepoy companies was the issue of new gunpowder cartridges for the Enfield rifle in February, 1857. A rumour was spread that the cartridgeswere made from cow and pig fat. Loading the Enfield required tearing open the greased cartridge with one's teeth.

Explanation:
To underplay the importance of the uprising, British historians refer to it as a 'SEPOY MUTINY', that is, one in which a few sepoys of the English East India Company revolted.The facts,however,suggest otherwise. An uprising as long-lasting and as widespread as this cannot be explained by just the disaffection that the greased cartridge caused among bt he sepoys.
