Answer 2

• Nanasaheb was the adopted son of the last Peshwa, Baji Rao II.     His main dissatisfaction with the British was his refusal to give Nanasaheb the pension paid by the British to Baji Rao II. Nana Saheb was forced to live in Kanpur, far from his parents' home in Pune.
• The doctrine of Lapse was the policy used by Lord Dalhousie against Rani Laxmi Bai. Rani Lakshmi Bai's adopted child was not allowed to sit on the throne of Jhansi after the death of Jhansi's ruler in 1853. Anand Rao was not recognized as an heir. Jhansi was annexed under the Doctrine of Lapse. This was the main reason why Rani Lakshmi Bai became a bitter enemy of Britishers.
