Rani of Jhansi was not permitted to adopt a son. The Indians could not travel in first class train compartments. The conservative section of the Indians were alarmed by the rapid spread of Western culture and English education in India. Christian converts offended the Indian orthodox sentiments. R.D. Mangles, a member of the British Parliament, declared openly that Every British must try his utmost to convert every Indian to Christianity and the banner of Christ should wave triumphant from one end of India to the other. They were prohibited from their traditional religious practices like wearing a saffron mark on their forehead, growing beard and wearing turbans. Lord Cannings Government passed in 1856, The General Services Enlistment Act. It compelled the Indian Sepoys to serve abroad, if there was need. They had to cross the seas. It made them angry against the British. They thought that this would offend their religious tradition because the cow is sacred to the Hindus and the pig is detestable to the Muslims. A young Indian Sepoy from Bengal Regiment, refused to use the greased cartridge, and shot down his sergeant. He was arrested, tried and executed. When this news spread many sepoys started the revolt.
