Gun Cartridges

Explanation:

Sepoys were Indians in the British army and naturally, they had to use guns. To load the gun, the cartridge's greased end had to be bitten off. The grease came from cow and pig fat. Having technically "consumed" pig and cow which was against their religion, the Sepoys revolted.
