What were the issues that outraged the religious feelings of the Soldiers?

Answer»

The factors that disturbed the religious sentiment of soldiers were: 

1. The soldiers in the British army were being given new rifles called Royal Enfield. The cartridge used in the rifles were greased with the fat of cow and pigs. The soldiers had to pull the safety catch with the help of their teeth. But, it was impossible for both the Hindu and Muslim soldiers, because cow was sacred for the Hindus, while pig was blasphemous for Muslims. This factor disturbed the religious sentiments for both the religions. 

2. The another factor that disturbed the Indian religious sentiment, was that the soldiers were forced to cross the oceans to serve on foreign land.
