The cartridges were NOT in fact made with this fat and were made with beeswax and linseed oil instead. When Sepoys heard these rumours, it was suggested that natives be given the means to manufacture their own for assurance. This was taken by many to mean that the rumours were true.

original answer: 'This action could reveal contempt on Britain's part to the beliefs and lifestyles of the Muslim and Hindu populations. Also, the British may have been trying to force the sepoys into Christianity.'

The answer is in the question itself. Think about it. The British obviously had a negative attitude towards the Indians. They did not like the Indians at all.
