The Sepoy Rebellion was the uprising of natives (sepoys) of India against their British colonizers. Britain's attempt to "Westernize" India through Christianity, education, social policies, etc. was received as a direct threat to the traditional Caste System already in place. The attempted implementations by the British were offensive to the native people whom reacted with surprising violence.

The BBC provides a good starting point for further research and deeper understanding.
