What was one cause of the Sepoy Rebellion in India?

One cause of the Sepoy Rebellion was resentment over British interference with Indian religious and cultural practices. For example, the rifle cartridges were rumored to be greased with animal fat forbidden to Hindu and Muslim soldiers. The British outlawed or restricted some Indian traditions, while they did not institute the caste system or only begin collecting taxes and opening trade posts at that time.
