Answer 1

C: Both the Hindu and the Muslim soldiers were upset with changes made by the military.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Vellore Mutiny took place in 1806 when Indian soldiers, sepoys, serving the British East Indian Company attacked and killed more than one hundred British soldiers and officiers. The sepoys wer upset to mandatory changes in the uniforms which included wearing a Christian style hat. In addition, Hindu sepoys could no longer wear religious marks on their skin and had to use ammunition consisting of beef fat, which was forbidden by their religion. Meanwhile, the Muslim sepoys were upset because they could no longer grow their beards and had to use ammunition that contained pork fat, both of which were prohibited by their religion.

Answer 2

c.) Both the Hindu and the Muslim soldiers were upset with changes made by the military.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cipaios revolt was an event caused by the discontent of Indian Hindu and Muslim soldiers against the British government. This revolt arose because these two groups of soldiers believed that the British government was disrespectful of their culture and religion at different points.

The reasons for this revolt were several, but the main ones were the mandatory enlistment of young Indians in the army of the "British East India Company". This recruitment mixed young people of various castes, which was not well seen among the Indians, in addition the soldiers had terrible working conditions and terrible salaries. Another reason was that they were required to participate in missions that preached Christianity and promoted Hindu and Islamic religion as wrong and impure.

However, the main trigger of the revolt was the use of animal fat by British soldiers, who used cow fat to waterproof their rifles. The problem with this was that British soldiers ripped the fat pack with their mouths, which caused them to swallow some of the fat, or left traces of it in their mouths, which was seen as a sign of extreme disrespect for soldiers Hindus and Muslims.
