Answer:

The British outlawed many Indian traditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally speaking, the "Sepoy Rebellion" was motivated by the feeling that British people were abusing the Indians and putting Indian traditions in danger.

The British were extremely rude to the people they governed, and this was exemplified by a story that made its way to the different levels of the Bengal army. According to the story, the British greased the cartridges destinated to new rifles for the Bengal soldiers with pork or beef fat, something which Muslims and Hindus considered an insult.
