Sonali Aggarwal 7 years, 6 months ago

There was a widespread discontentment against the British rule.Only a spark was needed to set the country ablaze.Arifle cartridge provided that spark.

A new rifle had been introduced in the army.The cartridges of this rifle we're covered with a greased paper wrapper.The sepoy had to bite off the greased wrapper before loading the cartridge into the rifle.News spread that the grease was made from the fat of cows and pigs.Hindus consider cow sacred and Muslims consider the pig dirty.Hence sepoys of both communities were enraged at such disrespect shown for their religious sentiments.The first soilder to protest against the new cartridges was Mangal Pandey.
