There were allegations that the grease in the cartridges was made of tallow and lard from cows and pigs, respectively, which had a negative religious impact on Hindus and Muslims. The "Sepoys" were understandably outraged by this insult, which resulted in the "First War of Independence" and made the Enfield Rifles an immediate cause.
