Causes forth Vellore Mutiny

Several-causes are attributed to the Vellore Mutiny. Indian sepoys had to experience numerous difficulties when they want to serve in the Company’s army.

The sepoys were forced to serve under the Company since their earlier patrons (the native chieftains) were all disappearing from the scene. The strict discipline, practice, new weapons, new methods and uniforms were all new to the sepoys. Anything new appears to be difficult and wrong for a man who is well settled in the old way of life for a long time.
