Answer 1

Answer:

hiii mate here is your answer

The soldiers of Barrackpore revolted against the British after the new Enfield rifle were introduced to be used by the sepoys of Barrackpore. ... Therefore, it was not at all accepted by them to use the rifle and they thought that British were messing up with their religious sentiments.

Answer 2

The battalion refused to use the new ‘Enfield Rifle’ because, there was a rumour going on in the Bengal regiments about the use of Pig or Cow fat to grease the cartridges of the rifle which had to be teared by the mouth to use the rifle. The sepoys refused to use the rifle because the pig was a taboo for Muslims and the cow was sacred to Hindus.
