3. The most important was the annexation of Awadh.

No Indian could rise higher from a subedar.
Main religious cause was that the British didn't allow Indian to put on birth or caste marks.
The most important cause was the Cartridges of the Enfield Rifle. It was a greased cartridge. It was rumoured that the grease was the fat of pigs and cows. To load the bullets one had to bite off the greased paper. This hurt the religious sentiments of the Indians.
