Why is it incomplete to treat the cartridge issue in 1857 as only a religious cause?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because political annexations economic pressure and military discontent were also behind it

Direct answer: Option A is correct. The cartridge controversy was an immediate trigger of the 1857 uprising because many soldiers believed the cartridges were greased with cow and pig fat, offending Hindu and Muslim religious beliefs. However, the revolt cannot be explained by that issue alone. Political causes included annexations and the weakening of rulers; economic causes included pressure on landholders, peasants, and artisans; military causes included dissatisfaction among Indian soldiers and unequal treatment. The reasoning is: cartridge issue created immediate anger; older political, economic, and military grievances created deeper support for revolt. Option A correctly gives these wider causes. Option B is wrong because soldiers were central participants. Option C is wrong because the revolt preceded the 1905 Bengal Partition. Option D is wrong because the Indian National Congress was founded in 1885, after the revolt. Exam cue: cartridge controversy was an immediate cause, not the only root cause.
