What might the decision to grease the sepoys’ cartridges with beef and pork fat reveal about the british attitude toward indians?

The decision of the East India Company (EIC) could reveal a derogatory attitude towards Indian soldiers, which were considered of a lower category than the British officers.

Explanation:

Hello!

A sepoy was a soldier who was born in India. He served in the army of the Company under the command of British officers.

The decision to grease the cartridges of the rifles with beef or pork fat had, in fact, a religious problem. Hindu and Muslim beliefs prohibit the consumption of cow or pig and the loading of the rifle was done by tearing the greased cartridge using teeth.

The sepays were unhappy for many more reasons. This caused a riot in the year 1857. Finally, despite the defeat, the riot of sepoys caused the dissolution of the East India Company in 1858.
