Answer:
An uprising in several sepoy companies of the Bengal army was sparked by the issue of new gunpowder cartridges for the Enfield rifle February, 1857. The cartridges were rumoured to have been made from cow and sow fat. Loading the Enfield required tearing open the greased cartridge with one's teeth.
The East India Company discriminated against their Indian sepoys. They were poorly paid, ill-fed, and badly housed. They were forbidden from wearing any caste or sectarian marks, beards or turbans. As a result, there was resentment among the Indian troops.
