Explanation
On March 29, 1857, at Barrackpore, Sepoy Mangal Pandey of the 34th Bengal Native Infantry revolted against the introduction of the new Enfield P-53 rifle, which required soldiers to bite open cartridges rumored to be greased with cow and pig fat. His action sparked the Revolt of 1857 (India's First War of Independence).
