The introduction of the ‘Enfield Rifle’ was the immediate cause of the Revolt 1857 because it was of the opinion that the cartridge of the Enfield Rifle had to be bitten before using it.

On the other hand, Muslims considered pork as impure and this led to the introduction of Revolt 1857.]]> 2022-07-29 07:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sumitdivya/h70a6balqxv4jqup/wish/2251644929 sumitdivya https://padlet.com/sumitdivya/h70a6balqxv4jqup/wish/2251647400 The course of revolt of 1857 occurred due to the suffering that Indians went through under British rule.
