Ans: In 1857 had cartridges that required soldiers to bite off the ends of greased cartridges to load them. Rumours quickly spread that the grease was laced with cow and pig fat, which was offensive to both Hindu and Muslim sepoys. Their religions strictly prohibited them from consuming these animals, and by biting the cartridges, they felt they were being forced to break their religious codes.This incident served as a spark that ignited the already simmering discontent among the sepoys. They felt discriminated against in terms of pay, promotion prospects, and service conditions compared to their British counterparts. The introduction of the new cartridges became a symbol of British disrespect for their religious beliefs and cultural practices, ultimately contributing to the eruption of the Sepoy Mutiny.
