The immediate cause of the Indian Revolt of 1857, or Sepoy Mutiny, was a seemingly minor change in the weapons used by the British East India Company's troops. The Company had upgraded to the new Pattern 1853 Enfield rifle, which used greased paper cartridges. In order to open the cartridges and load the rifles, soldiers (known as sepoys) had to bite into the paper and tear it with their teeth. Rumors began to spread in 1856 that the grease on the cartridges was made from a mixture of beef tallow and pork lard. Eating cows, of course, is forbidden by Hinduism, while consumption of pork is forbidden by Islam. Thus, by making one small change to its munitions, the British managed to greatly offend both Hindu and Muslim soldiers. The sepoys' revolt began in Meerut, the first area to receive the new weapons. British manufacturers soon changed the cartridges in an attempt to calm the spreading anger among the soldiers, but this move backfired. The switch only confirmed, in the minds of the sepoys, that the original cartridges had indeed been greased with cow and pig fat.

Hope This helps!!!

<h3>Answer:</h3><h2>CAUSES </h2>

A harsh story of the rebel was the brutality that followed it. The rebels generally shot their British officers on rising and were liable for murders at Delhi, Kanpur, and elsewhere. The killing of women and children angered the British, but in fact, some British officers began to take critical actions before they knew that any such killings had occurred. In the end, the retaliation far surpassed the original margins. Hundreds of sepoys were speared or fired from cannons in a craze of British revenge.

<h2>REACTION</h2>

There were couple ways that the British responded.

  1. The standard response, wherein the company law was followed by the straight crown rule.
  2. The grassroots level response.

Answer:

This is false.

Explanation:

Greenfield Venture is a form of market entry strategy with establishment of a new wholly owned subsidiary in a foreign country by constructing its facilities from start. Through Greenfield Venture, a business enters a new market without the help of another business which is already present there. Although the process of setting up a Greenfield Venture, in most cases, is complex and more expensive, yet it provides maximum control to the firm. This is because the firm develops the project from the beginning thereby building its own culture and structure.

Occurs when television's symbols dominate other sources of information and ideas about the world.
Mama L [17]

Mainstreaming occurs in this particular circumstance. What mainstreaming means is, according to Stanley Baran and Dennis Davis authors of the book “Mass Communication Theory: Foundations, Ferment, and Future”, that television symbols make the main source of information and influence the most the person's view of the outside world. It makes person align more with what TV says than maybe what is actually, objectively true. This can be explained with the question similar to this one: Are economic austerity measures failing? We may think they are because someone on the TV is forcing that they are even if they are actually succeeding. That is why it is important to critically think and look at real, objective data and for television to be unbiased and objective as much as it can.
