Leaders of Revolt
In this Class 12 History topic from “Rebels and the Raj: The Revolt of 1857 and its Representations,” students examine the leaders who shaped the uprising, including their regional influence, political aims, military roles, and relationships with soldiers, zamindars, peasants, and local communities. They learn how figures such as Bahadur Shah Zafar, Rani Lakshmibai, Nana Sahib, Kunwar Singh, and Begum Hazrat Mahal are represented in official records, memoirs, images, and later historical accounts, while comparing colonial and Indian perspectives on the revolt.
