What this episode covers
One of the reasons attributed to the revolt of 1857 is that the British were conspiring to destroy the faith of the Hindustani soldiers and had greased the cartridges with fat of pigs and cows. When the soldiers would bite the cartridges to load it in the rifles, their faith would be compromised. Also, the British wanted to convert us (Indians) to Christianity.
