Answer:
The revolt of 1857 also known as Sepoy Mutiny or the First War of Independence was started in meerut. It happened mainly due to introduction of new gunpowder cartridges for the Enfield rifle in February 1857. Loading the Enfield often required tearing open the greased cartridge with one's teeth, and many sepoys believed that the cartridges were greased with cow and pig fat.
