The sepoys



The Revolt of 1857 was started by sepoys from Merrut on 10th may 1857. The reason which sparked this revolt was that the bullets which were given to sepoys for use was greased with lard (Pork fat and cow fat) which was anti-religious for both Muslims and Hindus. The Leader of this revolt was Bahadur Shah Zafar. V.D Savarkar termed this revolt as India's first struggle for Independence where as Benjamin Deziraeli called it a National Revolt.
