∙ 12y agoIt marked India's first attempt to gain independence from the oppressive British rule.
This was the mutiny of Sepoy (Indian) soldiers, from the British army in 1857. The seeds of the mutiny were sown by increasing discontent, by many Indians, with British rule in India. The immediate proximate cause to the mutiny, itself, was the circulation of a rumor that the British rifles (which Indians had been given to use) were greased with beef fat. In a country where cows are sacred, this rumor alone was enough to precipitate the mutiny of these Indian soldiers from the British army. The British put down the Sepoy Mutiny and rebellions quite brutally and re-established their rule over (most of) India.
