It is a never proven rumor that spread among the Indian sepoys that the cartridges are greased with beef tallow or pork lard. When the sepoys demands proof, the British authority refuses to do so and even suggests that the sepoys make their own cartridges. This action reinforces the rumor and become a catalyst for the Mutiny of 1857.

1. the Enfield Rifle did not replace the Brown Bess (standard smoothbore flintlock musket from ca 1740 to 1840), which had already been replaced by the smooth bore Percussion cap musket of 1842. 2. As regular infantry, they would use the full length three band 1853 pattern Enfields, not the shorter two Band 1858 model - that one would usually go to sharpshooters (where it would also not replace the brown bess, but the brunswick rifle or - in some indian regiments - the jacobs rifle instead). 3. the great novelty that made the enfield rifle such a big thing back then was its conical, hollow based minie bullet - these troops instead load round ball, which would be used in smooth bore muskets. 4. in order to make the rifle ready to fire, I'd put on a percussion cap - but I am not a drill sergeant of the british E.I.C, so what do I know...

Even today Sikhs and Jains have higher percentage of vegetarian than Hindus in India. And majority of Gurkhas are Hindus. I doubt they would have continued without any problem.

[@althesmith]

@@moonlighmax However, during the 1857 mutiny the Sikhs and Gurkha troops stayed loyal, so they got the equipment that was standard for the rest of the British forces. They didn't believe the rumors about cartridges being intentionally greased with religiously objectionable substances.

[@The_Honourable_Company]

Actually, the EIC had provided almost all native troops with modern guns (of the era), but after the revolt ended and the EIC broke, the British realised the problem of another disastrous revolt so they introduced a policy where almost all Indian troops will be provided with lesser quality weapons since they didn't need modern guns anyway because they were no major wars that were gonna come. However, in WW1, all the troops of the empire had to be given modern weapons for the war.

[@anshuldwivedi1919]

Well if you read the history of the subcontinent, everything happened extremely slowly, too slowly for most people to take notice of what was happening. Just think about this timeline, the Brits got trading rights in 1600, their first factory was set up after 12 long years. The first battle that got them rights to collect taxes in Bengal was in 1757 (That's 157 years after they got trading rights). Over the next 100 years their power grew, they isolated and conquered our retarded kingdoms (and mind you there were hundreds of them, with lots of in-fighting) we never put up a united front against them. This movie is about what happened in 1857 which is 257 years after the Brits put foot in our country. This story isn't something like WW1 or WW2 which you can trace over a few years (1870s to 1914 in case of WW1) & (1920s to 1945 in case of WW2). When history moves so slow that the story is told over hundreds of years, no man can foretell how things will turn out. We can't foretell the face of the earth after 15 years from today let along how things would be 250 years from now.

@Proud Indian your iq is same with your nation's average, right? all nations conquer another nations. some germanic tribes went to britain and conquered there, they assimilated britain. do you think english people are fully germanic? they're not. they have latino-celtic genes in high amount. slavs went to balkans and assimilated local people. todays south slavic nations have mostly illyrian genes. turkic migration of anatolia is very similar with in the upper ones. according to byzantine resources in 12nd century, anatolia had likely %20 - %25 central asian migrants. yes I have anatolian and greek ancestory like all of anatolian turkish people. but I have turkic ancestory too.
