The Sepoys were unhappy about their pay,allowances and conditions of services. The new rule violated their religious sensibilities and beliefs. In 1842, the sepoys were asked to go to Burma by the sea route to fight for the Company. The Sepoys refused to do so as they believed that if they crossed the sea they would lose their religion and caste. The Sepoys were severely punished for not obeying the British. In 1856 the Company passed a new law which stated that every new person who took up employment in the Company's army had to agree to serve overseas if required. The Sepoys were unhappy with this new law.
