Question

After the British were routed from Delhi, there was no uprising for almost
a week. It took that much time for news to travel. Then, a spurt of mutinies began.
Regiment after regiment mutinied and took off to join other troops at nodal points
like Delhi, Kanpur and Lucknow. After them, the people of the towns and villages
also rose up in rebellion and rallied around local leaders, zamindars and chiefs
who were prepared to establish their authority and fight the British. Nana Saheb,
the adopted son of the late Peshwa Baji Rao who lived near Kanpur, gathered
armed forces and expelled the British garrison from the city. He proclaimed
himself Peshwa..He declared that he was a governor under Emperor Bahadur
Shah Zafàr. In Lucknow, Birjis Qadr, the son of the deposed Nawab Wajid Ali
Shah, was proclaimed the new Nawab. He too acknowledged the 'suzerainty of
Bahadur Shah Zafar. His mother Begum Hazrat Mahal took an active part in
organising the uprising against the British.
