It is a never proven rumor that spread among the Indian sepoys that the cartridges are greased with beef tallow or pork lard. When the sepoys demands proof, the British authority refuses to do so and even suggests that the sepoys make their own cartridges. This action reinforces the rumor and become a catalyst for the Mutiny of 1857.
One thing to note is that it wasn't just the greased cartridge rumors that started the rebellion, but a number of other societal, cultural, and religious issues related to colonialism, imperialism, and the British Empire's spreading of christianity in the Indian sub-continent to the detriment of Hindu and Muslims.
the british never spread christianity in india though. they were aware of the problems that would cause and specifically forbade missionarys to work there.

@@missymiami6798 Animals fats were not expensive in 19c Britain where those cartridges would have been made. They used them for all kinds of things; soaps, cosmetics, cutting oils, waterproofing, fuel, preservatives, food, axle grease... the list goes on. Lard and tallow would have been commonplace during this period in history in any place that did heavy trade with Britain, might expect animal fats to be found on the products from there if they needed some kind of oil/grease on them. It was not at all unreasonable for the soldiers to think the cartridges could be greased with lard or tallow. Whether or not they actually were, I cannot say.
Ironically, the paper was sealed with beeswax and the bullets greased with tallow (from goats and sheep). An order was issued stating that the sepoys did not have to put those in their mouths.
So much wrong here. No proper percussion cap handling, spilling powder during loading, and then they put a round ball instead of a miniè conical into the rifles.
@TREVOR WILSON They were not! Have you ever shot an Enfield rifle musket? I have. I used to own one. Shot live rounds as well as blank loads. You must be thinking of the 1855 Springfield which used the Maynard tape primer. Used in the American Civil War as well as the Enfield, 1861 Springfield and the Spencer repeating rifle.
@TREVOR WILSON Like I said; I OWNED one and shot it alot. I've been in the black powder hobby for almost twenty years. I know muzzleloaders, both percussion and flintlock.
The East India Company supplied their Indian subjects with outdated weaponry, exactly because of things happening such as a mutiny. The regular white British army received the most up to date weaponry.
@@arandomperson5434 That Dreyse rifle was around but not in mass production or generally speaking available in other countries, as the Prussians were said to be highly protective of it. With that being said when brass cartridges started becoming more of a thing in the 1860s (also an 1840s invention) did you see a push to start switching over to other breech or trap door loading firearms. The Brits made a major switch to this sort of weaponry for mass formations in 1871 with the Martini-Henry.
@@karlkrump6634 Yes. The main problem with the Dreyse was that the needle used to ignite the powder was fragile and had to be replaced every 6-12 shots
Greased cartridge was one of the immediate reason but there were more social economical and imperial reason behind the rebel it was said that" India was sitting on the mountain of gunpowder and the rumour of greased cartridge lit the fire"
You are right. The greased cartridge issu was like the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. Both are the catalyst of war, but before it happened, there are of social and political issues
How Mizos got the word "Sipai" in reference to a member of the armed forces. The Turkish word "Sipahi" somehow found its way into India and there were the Sepoys. Then the Mizo forefathers somewhat heard of the word "Sepoy" when the British step foot on the Lushai Hills and there we acquired the word "Sipai"
Not a Turkish word. It's a Persian word. After the Persianization of Turks and the Early Mughals they both carried these words into their languages. Mughals used Sipahi for their soldiers and the British got it from them for their own Indian soldiers.

1. the Enfield Rifle did not replace the Brown Bess (standard smoothbore flintlock musket from ca 1740 to 1840), which had already been replaced by the smooth bore Percussion cap musket of 1842. 2.

@@definitelynotwu4811 its unclear whether the cartridges were actually greased with lard and tallow since previous cartridges were greased in beeswax. however on wikipedia it is stated that one batch was purposely made with lard and tallow after the sepoys complained about the rumours. So perhaps one idiot officer wanting to give the finger to his men, stirred up an entire rebellion
Cause they can eat any kind of meat they want and their religion doesn't tell them what to eat and what not to eat. They even eat cockroaches and various other abominations. Yuck!
Biting the cartridge would be swiftly dumped, with the rifle drill for the 1853 Enfield calling for the cartridge top to be torn off by the fingers on the level with the muzzle. That said, the propaganda effects of claiming that the cartridges were greased with cow fat AND pig fat simultaneously were huge.

Why not you can tear it with hand too, but it was mouth because in one hand you are supposed to crary rifle!.. During battle it will be not easy to operate as u mentioned!
Fun fact: During the mutiny Hindu and Muslim rebel troups took over several British armories, and used the new ammunition without hesitation. So, the real reason for the uprising and the massacres lay elsewhere.
Not true for sikh. Cows had same importance in Sikhs as compared to Hindus. Things changed for them after 1970-1989s cultural issues. Even today Sikhs and Jains have higher percentage of vegetarian than Hindus in India. And majority of Gurkhas are Hindus. I doubt they would have continued without any problem.
@@moonlighmax However, during the 1857 mutiny the Sikhs and Gurkha troops stayed loyal, so they got the equipment that was standard for the rest of the British forces. They didn't believe the rumors about cartridges being intentionally greased with religiously objectionable substances.
Actually, the EIC had provided almost all native troops with modern guns (of the era), but after the revolt ended and the EIC broke, the British realised the problem of another disastrous revolt so they introduced a policy where almost all Indian troops will be provided with lesser quality weapons since they didn't need modern guns anyway because they were no major wars that were gonna come. However, in WW1, all the troops of the empire had to be given modern weapons for the war.
Well in the beginning common folk thought British Raj is just another feudal system to replace a previous dynasty...the colonisation realisation happen after this revolt
Well if you read the history of the subcontinent, everything happened extremely slowly, too slowly for most people to take notice of what was happening. Just think about this timeline, the Brits got trading rights in 1600, their first factory was set up after 12 long years. The first battle that got them rights to collect taxes in Bengal was in 1757 (That's 157 years after they got trading rights). Over the next 100 years their power grew, they isolated and conquered our retarded kingdoms (and mind you there were hundreds of them, with lots of in-fighting) we never put up a united front against them. This movie is about what happened in 1857 which is 257 years after the Brits put foot in our country. This story isn't something like WW1 or WW2 which you can trace over a few years (1870s to 1914 in case of WW1) & (1920s to 1945 in case of WW2). When history moves so slow that the story is told over hundreds of years, no man can foretell how things will turn out. We can't foretell the face of the earth after 15 years from today let along how things would be 250 years from now.
@@breastmilkgaming the British military has never forced men to join the military or conscription it only happened on rare occasions for example in the later years of ww1. that is why the British military historically has been small because unlike france etc we did not do conscription so piss off

Yikes! All the soldiers are shown without a cartridge pouch or even a percussion cap pouch, and (at 2:15) the "Subedars" are wearing a string of pearls?
Besides ignorance of the fulminate cap replacement it is a pretty accurate scene Edit, just realised he droped the pritchet directly in In reality the paper was greased ( by something ) rather than the miniè grooves so you would pour thepowder, flip the cartrige and put the other end in, then snap the top of the paper off and ram it
I'm not sure about all the drill practices. But I know that at least at one point, around the time of the American Civil War, British training was to rip the cartridge with the fingers, pour the gunpowder, reverse the bullet (As it was upside down in the cartridge) and ram home. You can see that drill here courtesy of British Muzzle Loaders; th-cam.com/video/eHCwesAeDm0/w-d-xo.html
Speed, biting the cartridge instead of using another hand to tear it made the reload a few seconds faster. At a time when muskets could only fire three rounds a minute, the slightest slowdown to a reload could mean the deaths of hundreds of your own troops if the enemy formation is able to reload and fire first.

@@definitelynotwu4811 its unclear whether the cartridges were actually greased with lard and tallow since previous cartridges were greased in beeswax. however on wikipedia it is stated that one batch was purposely made with lard and tallow after the sepoys complained about the rumours. So perhaps one idiot officer wanting to give the finger to his men, stirred up an entire rebellion
Cause they can eat any kind of meat they want and their religion doesn't tell them what to eat and what not to eat. They even eat cockroaches and various other abominations. Yuck!

@@pranavvaishnave7648 Bro you nailed it.
I love his Hindi accent. 😂
Biting the cartridge would be swiftly dumped, with the rifle drill for the 1853 Enfield calling for the cartridge top to be torn off by the fingers on the level with the muzzle. That said, the propaganda effects of claiming that the cartridges were greased with cow fat AND pig fat simultaneously were huge.

The question is, why did they come to India? Poor chaps are now ensconced in the tiny island fearing winter as Russia puts tap on the oil supply 😂
@@upadhyayrathiraj1518 @Upadhyay Rathi Raj Because, as colonizers do, they were looking for land to conquer for the purpose of expansion and building up their wealth. They were simply the first modern empire to gain a proper foothold there.
Anybody else could have done it had they had the resources, expertise and military to do so. Even pre-Columbian empires such as the Aztecs colonized and massacred their neighbours in a manner far more sinister than the British have ever done.
And should you really be pointing fingers, when your own country is still in general turmoil?
@@JostVanWair How is India in general turmoil? We just recently launched our 3rd mission to the moon, our economy is doing really well despite the useless war in Ukraine, and we're gearing up for the next general elections. Do you even understand what turmoil is?
@@yugmathakkar4023 well this comment was a long time ago but you need to look past the surface value of things. I live in a 3rd world country myself and despite the nonsense our politicians say about how we are "the world's first sustainable country" we still suffer from high amounts of poverty, poof infrastructure and educational opportunities.
India is a beautiful country but you cannot deny the fact that beyond all of the space flights and development, about 60% of India's population is totally impoverished...
my school told me watch this and i thought it would be boring as always but it was really good
All people need good stories to feel good about themselves, never let the facts come in the way of a good story is a prime Movie mantra.
I am triggered by the sheer historical inaccuracy of the musketry here. THERE WAS NO ROUNDBALL FOR THE P53
FOOL ENFIELD 1853 WAS SIMPLE YOU TEAR THE CARTRIDGE PUT IN THE GUNPOWDER LOAD THE BALL OF 5.77 SOMETHING AND THEN PERCUSSION CAP THEN FIRE BOOM SIMPLE THERE WAS ROUNDBALL ENFIELD 1853 SPRINGFIELD 1853 DIDNT HAVE THAT BOTH ARE DIFFRENT FOOL
yep
@@navinagarwal8880 how could anyone take you seriously when you can't even type .577 the caliber of the rifle correctly
@@samellowery simple mistake, doesn’t discredit them.
Also I see you’ve edited your comment, hmmm you made a spelling mistake?
@@ZelenskyPlane yes because when I make a mistake I do fix it I put in .557 instead of .577 plus he talks about a springfield 53 no such thing ever existed there's a model 42 and a model 55 no 53.
4 a second I thought it was hot dogs dropout 0:25
Along with that, the sepoys were also dissapointed with the injustice happening with the farmers because many of thier families lived in villages, with all problems combined, it lead ot the great revolt of may 1857
I could be wrong, but I didn't see a percussion cap on the rifle. Has anyone else noticed this?
I read somewhere that the British army tore cartridge ends with their hands rather than their mouths when loading enfield muskets. Any truth to this?
Probably too many cases of broken teeth, no doubt even a few cases of swallowing the bullet
Why not you can tear it with hand too, but it was mouth because in one hand you are supposed to crary rifle!.. During battle it will be not easy to operate as u mentioned!
Later on, yes, they switched to tearing instead of biting.
Just after firing demo... next plan and we can see no gun smoke. And before that, he forget to place the cap.
the soldiers had very clear skin for someone living in 1850s and being poor and working in sun whole day
Nah your skin is just bad
You travelling in time to see ??
Fun fact: During the mutiny Hindu and Muslim rebel troups took over several British armories, and used the new ammunition without hesitation. So, the real reason for the uprising and the massacres lay elsewhere.

Senior British military "leadership" at its finest. Same as it ever was!!!
Well this was the East India Company's military, not the British military
5:34 really went serious.
Not all the Indian infantry weapons were downgraded. The Sikh and Ghurka units continued to use British military standard.
Not true for sikh. Cows had same importance in Sikhs as compared to Hindus. Things changed for them after 1970-1989s cultural issues.
Even today Sikhs and Jains have higher percentage of vegetarian than Hindus in India.
And majority of Gurkhas are Hindus. I doubt they would have continued without any problem.
@@moonlighmax However, during the 1857 mutiny the Sikhs and Gurkha troops stayed loyal, so they got the equipment that was standard for the rest of the British forces. They didn't believe the rumors about cartridges being intentionally greased with religiously objectionable substances.
Actually, the EIC had provided almost all native troops with modern guns (of the era), but after the revolt ended and the EIC broke, the British realised the problem of another disastrous revolt so they introduced a policy where almost all Indian troops will be provided with lesser quality weapons since they didn't need modern guns anyway because they were no major wars that were gonna come. However, in WW1, all the troops of the empire had to be given modern weapons for the war.

The British Army wasn't in India at the time.
So Indian is okay with being colonized and forced to fight for Britain's war but this is a too much for them...
Bruh, India was never forced into war lmao
Well in the beginning common folk thought British Raj is just another feudal system to replace a previous dynasty...the colonisation realisation happen after this revolt
this is way before ww1 and ww2 where Indians were taken to fight for Britain
but somehow british managed to change this to 'volunteered'
Well if you read the history of the subcontinent, everything happened extremely slowly, too slowly for most people to take notice of what was happening. Just think about this timeline, the Brits got trading rights in 1600, their first factory was set up after 12 long years. The first battle that got them rights to collect taxes in Bengal was in 1757 (That's 157 years after they got trading rights). Over the next 100 years their power grew, they isolated and conquered our retarded kingdoms (and mind you there were hundreds of them, with lots of in-fighting) we never put up a united front against them. This movie is about what happened in 1857 which is 257 years after the Brits put foot in our country. This story isn't something like WW1 or WW2 which you can trace over a few years (1870s to 1914 in case of WW1) & (1920s to 1945 in case of WW2). When history moves so slow that the story is told over hundreds of years, no man can foretell how things will turn out.
We can't foretell the face of the earth after 15 years from today let along how things would be 250 years from now.
@@breastmilkgaming the British military has never forced men to join the military or conscription it only happened on rare occasions for example in the later years of ww1. that is why the British military historically has been small because unlike france etc we did not do conscription so piss off
Year that is it!revolution!

@@mochiebellina8190 lol
Who knew that a company ie EIC would rule a subcontinent?
There was no percussion cap on the fired rifled musket.
It was at this time the whites realised that the Hindu-Muslim unity is a threat to their imperialism..... Respect for my hindu-muslim-sikh brothers who fight for our freedom and to those whites who stood with us.. 🙏🙏🙏
Yup
Sad seeing what's happening nowadays
Am I the only one who wonders where the percussion cap came from ?
Yikes! All the soldiers are shown without a cartridge pouch or even a percussion cap pouch, and (at 2:15) the "Subedars" are wearing a string of pearls?
Subedars were rich man they can string of pearls
you know, that is magic percussion lock gun,
they forgot to put the percussion cap in the nipple but still can fire the gun! LoL

@4:27 That's a musket bullet,not a bullet for the rifle he's supposed to be using. And where's the percussion cap?

Edit, just realised he droped the pritchet directly in
In reality the paper was greased ( by something ) rather than the miniè grooves so you would pour thepowder, flip the cartrige and put the other end in, then snap the top of the paper off and ram it

Google "Mangal Pandey the rising".
4:47
It's funny that the camera is standing right in front of the gun, but the lens didn't break after the firing😂😂
This is why the British army changed to color ended cartridges right? In the 1860's the cartridges would become tearable within the muzzle.
it turned out to be faster as well.
Which movie is this

@@nostro1940 shut

He forgot to put the percussion cap on. Without it the weapon wouldn't have fired.
Wait why didnt they just rip it with their hands, it showed them doing to to a brown bess later....
The sepoys trained for a long time to bite the cartrdige. It was second nature at that point and unlearning this method would take too long.
I'm not sure about all the drill practices. But I know that at least at one point, around the time of the American Civil War, British training was to rip the cartridge with the fingers, pour the gunpowder, reverse the bullet (As it was upside down in the cartridge) and ram home. You can see that drill here courtesy of British Muzzle Loaders; th-cam.com/video/eHCwesAeDm0/w-d-xo.html
@@BigHorseFilm not in parts like here with the sepoys
Speed, biting the cartridge instead of using another hand to tear it made the reload a few seconds faster. At a time when muskets could only fire three rounds a minute, the slightest slowdown to a reload could mean the deaths of hundreds of your own troops if the enemy formation is able to reload and fire first.
Is this kolkata?
