"Sepoy Soldier's Outraged and Rebelling Against the British East Indian Company"
May 10, 1857, Sepoy soldiers heard rumors that cartridges for new rifles were coated in pork and beef fat. This disrespectful insult from the British East Indian Company to the religions of India sparked a rebellion. The British East Indian Company is accused of trying to convert Indians religions to Christianity with imperialism. The rebellion started in the town of Meerut, India, and the uprising moved toward Delhi. The British East Indian Company is still the dominant power in this rebellion, they have more resources than the Sepoy soldiers. Indians that are of Hindu and Muslim religions are working together to form a Sepoy Mutiny.
