The Indian Rebellion of 1857 occurred as the result of an accumulation of factors over time, rather than any single event. The sepoys were local soldiers, the majority Hindu or Muslim, that were recruited into the Company's army. Just before the Rebellion there were over 300,000 sepoys in the army, compared to about 50,000 British. The forces were divided into three presidency armies: Bombay, Madras, and Bengal.
The British forced the Indians to fire, and when they didn't, the British got mad. One Indian stood out (Mangal Pandey) and revolted. This is known as the Sepoy rebellion. So basically, it was a rebellion that was caused because of ignoring the local customs.
