उत्तर
- The immediate cause of the First War of Independence in 1857 was the introduction of the new Enfield rifle.
- The cartridges for this rifle were rumoured to be greased with cow and pig fat, which offended both Hindu and Muslim soldiers, as cows are sacred in Hinduism and pigs are considered impure in Islam.
- This sparked widespread resentment and was the immediate trigger for the rebellion.
