Colonial Uprising

The Sepoy Mutiny is a prime example of how the European nations did not care about the cultures of the people they were taking over.  Using the fat from animals that were considered sacred as a seal for cartridges was pure ignorance and toward the men they employed as soldiers for their country.  The English did not care about their non-Christian views and therefore did not think about them in the long run.  When the Sepoys revolted, it was not a big uprising.  There ultimate goal failed but in the long run it was seen as the first step of India regaining their independence.  A similar but very small case that happened in the 1980s was when many Indians rioted against McDonalds across the world for they were not told that the fires were fried in beef oil and it caused a distress but not one of revolutionary proportions.
