The Sepoy Mutiny was the uprising of Hindu and Muslim soldiers against the East India Company. Their discontent was based on several issues over time, but the final spark arose over tallow and lard greased gun cartridges. The soldiers had to bite the cartridges to make them fit. Tallow is made from beef and lard is made from pigs. Each offensive to Hindus and Muslims respectively. The soldiers felt that the British were disrespecting their religions.
