What did the british do to the sepoys?

The British subjected the sepoys, or Indian soldiers in the British East India Company's army, to various forms of exploitation and disrespect, including cultural insensitivity and harsh treatment. Tensions escalated due to practices like the introduction of the Enfield rifle, which required soldiers to bite off cartridge ends rumored to be greased with animal fat, violating religious beliefs. This led to widespread discontent, culminating in the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, where sepoys revolted against British authority. The rebellion was ultimately suppressed, leading to significant changes in British governance in India.
