• Joseph Noel Peyton's picture 'In Memoriam' has been presented showing the helpless and helpless situation of the public in India to demand retribution and lessons from his government.

 

• Through some pictures, the British tried to demonstrate their invincibility and justify violent repression and retaliation. In one such picture, the Goddess of Justice is shown crushing soldiers under her feet in an aggressive posture.

 

• Some of the paintings show soldiers and others involved in the rebellion hanging openly in the open space or flying with a cannon. It was a kind of panic display. The nationalists have depicted the rebels fighting valiantly against the oppressive and imperialist regime. The Rani of Jhansi was often depicted as a manly personality in which she was leading the enemies to death.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Ordinary people join the mutiny of 1857. Lucknow was one of the main centres. The sepoys of Awadh were joined by peasants, zamindars, traders and talukdars.

Source Sisten and the tahsildar:In the context of the communication of the message of revolt and mutiny, the experience of Francois Sisten, a native Christian police inspector in Sitapur, is telling.  He had gone to Saharanpur to pay his respects to the magistrate. Sisten was dressed in Indian clothes and sitting cross-legged. A Muslim tahsildar from Bijnor entered the room; upon learning that Sisten was from Awadh, he enquired, “What news from Awadh? How does the work progress, brother?” Playing safe, Sisten replied, “If we have work in Awadh, your highness will know it.” The tahsildar said, “Depend upon it, we will succeed this time. The direction of the business is in able hands.” The tahsildar was later identified as the principal rebel leader of Bijnor. This source indicate that the effect of the rebellions had spread even among those officers who had earlier supported the British. The English men worried about their lives, property, owner of women and children. The geographical extent of the revolt was much greater. The magistrate used to get news and daily development day to day through their governmental representatives but they were suspicious as later on magistrate of Sitapur came to know that the Sisten who came to him was a great sympathiser of the rebellions.
