Answer:

( I do not know which revolution you are talking about so i wrote about my country's.....i hope that you will find this informative)

The Sepoy Mutiny was an uprising of Indian soldiers that were employed by the East India Trading company. The soldiers attacked and killed British officers starting in Meerut, and then traveled to Delhi to continue to rebellion against the British East India trading company, which was a rebellion against the British Crown as well.

Three major causes contributed to the Sepoy Mutiny.

The military structure of the British East India Trading Company that separated employment of native Indian people based on the preexisting Indian cast system further exacerbated ideas of racial inequality between the British culture and the Indian culture .

The Enfield rifle contributed to religious insecurity in the military of the British East India Trading company that was already unstable with British missionaries in India attempting to convert Hindu and Muslim people .

Finally, the Implementation of Christian missionaries threatened the religious and cultural practices of India and reaffirmed the fears that the British East India Trading Company, in expanding its territory, was actively trying to conquer all of India
