Leaders of 1857 revolt
The Indian Rebellion of 1857 began as a mutiny of sepoys in the town of Meerut on May 10, 1857 and escalated into widespread rebellions across northern and central India. The rebellion posed a major threat to British East India Company rule in the region. Key leaders of the rebellion included Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal emperor, Mangal Pandey, Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi, Begum Hazrat Mahal of Awadh, Nana Sahib of Kanpur, and others. The rebellion was ultimately suppressed by 1859, marking the end of Company rule and beginning of direct British rule over India.
