Immediate Factor:

1. The immediate factor was the introduction of the ‘Enfield’ rifle. It was said that the cartridge of this rifle was wrapped in the fat of cow and pig. The cartridge had to be bitten off before loading it into the gun. Thus the Hindu and Muslim soldiers were reluctant to use the ‘Enfield’ rifle.
2. At Barrackpore (Bengal), the soldiers of the 34th Native Infantry, refused to obey the commander Lt. B.augh. MangalPandey who led the uprising, wanted to kill Lt. Baugh and finally MangalPandey was overpowered and he was hanged. He was the first rebel who was hanged in the revolt of 1857. This sparked a collective uprising in the form of the revolt of 1857.
3. After the event of Barrackpore, on 10th May, 1857 General Bakht Khan who was posted in Meerut, along with the contingent of troops from Meerut and Bareily, marched to Delhi, and then the context of the revolt was set, when he declared Bahadur Shah Zafar as the leader of the revolt.
