Question

Write a note on Nana Saheb, Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, and Birjis Qadar.

Answer 1

Hint: Nana Sahib was an Indian Peshwa of the Maratha empire, Bahadur Shah II, also known as Bahadur Shah Zafar, was the last Mughal emperor of India (reigned $ 1837 $ – $ 57 $ ), and Birjis Qadar was the Nawab of Awadh from $ 1857 $ to $ 1858 $ .

Complete answer:
Nana Saheb: Nana Sahib, also known as Dhondu Pant, was an Indian Peshwa of the Maratha Empire who lived from $ 19 $ May $ 1824 $ to $ 24 $ September $ 1859 $ . He was an aristocrat and a soldier who led the revolt in Cawnpore (Kanpur) in $ 1857 $ .

Nana Rajguru is Nana Sahib's teacher who teaches them Udha Kala and political strategy. Nana Sahib claimed he was entitled to a pension from the English East India Company because he was the adopted son of exiled Maratha Peshwa BajiRao II, but the underlying contractual issues are murky. After a British force recaptured Cawnpore, he vanished. On September $ 24 $, $ 1859 $, he was taken to the Nepal Hills and died.

Bahadur Shah Zafar: Bahadur Shah II, also known as Bahadur Shah Zafar, was the last Mughal emperor of India (reigning $ 1837 $ – $ 57 $ ). He was born on October $ 24 $ , $ 1775 $ , in Delhi, India, and died on November $ 7 $ , $ 1862 $ , in Rangoon [now Yangon], Myanmar. He was more of an aesthete than a politician, being a poet, artist, and calligrapher. He was Akbar Shah II's and Lal Bai's second son. He was a British client for the majority of his reign and had no real authority. During the Indian Mutiny of $ 1857 $ , rebel troops from the city of Meerut captured Delhi and forced Bahadur Shah to recognise the nominal leadership of the rebellion.

Birjis Qadar: From $ 1857 $ to $ 1858 $ , Birjis Qadar $ (20 $ August $ 1845 - 14 $ August $ 1893) $ was the Nawab of Awadh. In $ 1857 $ , after the outbreak of the Sepoy Mutiny, Qatar's mother made him ruler of the state and became his regent. Despite putting up a valiant fight against the British, they fled to Kathmandu, Nepal, the following year after Lucknow was captured. He became a poet in Kathmandu and organised mushairas (poetry recitals). In 1887, he returned to India and settled in Metiabruz, a Kolkata neighbourhood. He was reportedly killed by his own family in $ 1893 $ .

Note: When the East India Company's forces revolted at Cawnpore on June $ 6 $ , $ 1857 $ , the British contingent sought shelter at an entrenchment in the town's northern portion. In the midst of the confusion in Cawnpore, Nana and his forces stormed the British magazine in the town's northern section.
