Answer:
There was a wide spread impact on the people of the whole country and
its ruling families after Bahadur Shah Zafar's support to the rebellion.
These were:→ He wrote letters to all the chiefs and rulers of the country
to come forward and organize a confederacy of Indian states to fight
with Britishers. All small and big kingdoms, kings, Nawabs, Rajas,
princes, zamindars, chiefs and even many Hindu and Muslim religious
leaders welcomed this initial step taken by the Emperor and joined hands
to rebel against the British.
→ Regiment after regiment mutinied and started to join other troops at
nodal points like- Delhi, Kanpur and Lucknow.
→ The people of towns and villages also joined the rebellion in mass
and rallied around local leaders, zamindars and rulers who were
prepared to regain their lost authority and fight against the British.
