India was granted independence from the British on 15 August 1947. Her to path independence was not because of one person or just one movement. It was rather a collection of multiple events which were both violent and nonviolent in nature.

To use the rifle, the sepoys had to bite off the end of the cartridge, which included the gunpowder and the bullet. The cartridges were, however, were heavily greased with pork and beef fat (Streets). If the sepoys were to use these new r ifles, it would be strictly going against their religious beliefs.
