I am a huge history fan and one of the areas I particularly enjoy researching is British Rule over India.

I have attached a Bollywood that contains both English and Hindi dialect and talks about how the British East India company ruled India and the controversy surrounding greased cartridges because they "were greased with the fat of pigs and cows" and how the native Indian soldiers who were employed the company were asked to "put the cartridges in their mouth" and "bite of the top" that was greased with animal fat.

Centuries later is it possible to reenact loading a greased cartridge in an Enfield Rfile? Similar to a musket demonstration in American Revolution reenactments?

Or would this nowadays be considered a health hazard?

You can enable full English subtitles on YouTube for those who are interested.

I know a language barriers might be a concern for a lot of you guys.
