Answer 2

The Sepoy Mutiny began in 1857 when the Britishers forced the Indian soldiers to use a new type of rifle called Enfield Rifle in which they had to bite the end of cartilage greased with the fat of pigs and cows. The army consisted of both Hindu and Muslim soldiers. Hindus think of cows as sacred and Muslims think of pigs as unclean. Thus, the Enfield Rifle went against both religions. An Indian soldier, Mangal Pandey, refused to use the rifle and hit one of the British soldiers in Meerut in March 1857. Mangal Pandey was then hanged on April 8 1857. This sparked nationality and patriotism in the other soldiers as well and the Sepoy Mutiny or Revolt of 1857 began when the Indian soldiers in Delhi marched to Bahadur Shah Zafar to lead the revolt.

It was named Sepoy Mutiny as sepoy means an Indian soldier serving under British or other European orders and mutiny means an open rebellion against the proper authorities, especially by soldiers or sailors against their officers.
