Question

Why did the Indian sepoys refused to use the greased cartilages ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The soldiers felt that it was a move by the British to defame their religion because no Hindu would touch the beef and no Muslim would touch the pork. As a result, the Indian sepoys refused to use greased cartridges.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Indian Sepoys refused greased cartilages because a rumour spread among the sepoys that the grease used to lubricate the cartridges was a mixture of pigs’ and cows’ lard. This had hurt both Hindus' and Muslims' religious sentiments which was one of the causes of the sepoy mutiny of 1857.
