What are the causes for the revolt of 1857 ?

Answer» The causes for the Revolt of 1857 or First War of Independence were:

This hurt the Hindus as they left their own natural CASTE. Also the abolition of certain reforms such as sati, child marriage,etc. was introduced. This hurt the Hindu sentiments and they thought that the Britishers were removing the Hindu caste and disregarding their religion.

4. MILITARY cause:The discrimination in the British army between Indians and Britishers were great. All the Indian soldiers were treated with great contempt. While the British soldiers got up to high posts an Indian soldier could not rise above the POST of a Subedar.
 
5. Immediate Cause: The Enfield Rifle:A new rifle was introduced in The British army. The cartridge of the rifle had a greased paper which was to be bitten off then to reload the rifle. It was known that the greased paper was made from the fat of the cows and pigs. This angered the Indians who just needed a spark to ignite their anger and this was provided by this incident.
