Historians have identified diverse political, economic, military, religious and social causes of the Revolt of 1857 (First War of Indian Independence 1857). An uprising in several sepoy companies of the Bengal army was sparked by the issue of new gunpowder cartridges for the Enfield rifle in February 1857. Loading the Enfield often required tearing open the greased cartridge with one's teeth, and many sepoys believed that the cartridges were greased with cow and pig fat. This would have insulted both Hindu and Muslim religious practices; cows were considered holy by Hindus, while pigs were considered unclean (Haram) by Muslims.

  • حدد المؤرخون أسبابًا سياسية، واقتصادية، وعسكرية، ودينية، واجتماعية متنوعة للتمرد الهندي عام 1857. اندلعت انتفاضة في عدة سباهي تابعة للجيش البنغالي بسبب إصدار خراطيش البارود الجديدة لبندقية إنفيلد في فبراير 1857. يتطلب استخدام بندقية إنفيلد في كثير من الأحيان تمزيق الخرطوشة المشحمة بالأسنان. اعتقد فرسان السباهي أن الخراطيش كانت مُشحَّمة بدهن البقر والخنازير؛ ما من شأنه إهانة كل من المعتقدات الدينية الهندوسية والمسلمة. إذ يعتبر الهندوس الأبقار مقدسة، بينما يعتبر المسلمون الخنازير نجسة.
