Question

Why were the Indian sepoys in the Company army discontent?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Indian Sepoys in the Company's army were discontent with the introduction of the new Enfield Rifles which were to replace the old Brown Bess Musket. It was because the loading process if the Enfield Rifle involved bringing the cartridge to the mouth and biting off the top greased paper with the teeth and there was a rumor that the cartridges had the fat of cow and pig. The sepoys were now convinced that the introduction of greased cartridges was a deliberate move to defile Hindu and Muslim religions as the cow is sacred to the Hindus and the pig is a taboo for the Muslims.
