Answer:Hii. Here is your answer....
An uprising in several sepoy companies of the Bengal army was sparked by the issue of new gunpowder cartridges for the Enfield rifle February, 1857. The cartridges were made from cow and pig fat. Loading the Enfield required tearing open the greased cartridge with one's teeth. This purposely insulted both Hindu and Muslim religious practices; cows were considered holy by Hindus, while pigs were considered unclean by Muslims. Underlying grievances over British taxation and recent land annexations by the BEIC were ignited by the sepoy mutineers, and within weeks, dozens of units of the Indian army joined peasant armies in widespread rebellion. This is the main cause of revolt (The religious provocation) for both Muslim and Hindu, who were seeing their power steadily eroded by the East India Company, also rebelled against British rule. Another important source of discontent among the Indian rulers was that the British policies of conquest had created unrest among many Indian rulers. The policies like the doctrine of lapse, Subsidiary Alliance deprived Indian rulers of their power. One of the main reasons for the revolt was that the British east India company also started meddling with India’s political and financial system. So the people of India broke out for revolt in 1857.
