This is a little off topic, but...

Back in the Brittish colonial heyday, there was a revolt started in india over something similar. The brittish troops were angry over serving alongside hindu and muslim indians, so they started a rumor. In those days, rifles were single shot and the ammo that was used had a paper(instead of brass) casing that needed a hole BITTEN in the end of it before being placed in the rifle. Well, some brittish soldiers thought it would be clever to tell all the indian recruits that the paper ammo casings were made waterproof with a mixture of beef and pig fat. The indians became extrememly upset and started a war.

What I would like to know is this: Did these indians continue to bite the paper bullet casings in order to fight this war against beef/pig fat coated bullets?
