The use of cattle or pig grease on rifles by the East India army was considered by Hindu and Muslim soldiers to be an insult to their religious beliefs and practices. This sparked a rebellion that quickly spread throughout northern and central India, leading to the Great Revolt of 1857. While factors such as taxation and employment opportunities for lower castes also contributed to Indian resentment towards the British, it was the issue of the rifle greased with animal fats that served as the immediate catalyst for the revolt. Queen Victoria's adoption of the title "Empress of India" occurred several years after the revolt had been suppressed.
