The main centres of the revolt of 1857 are following -

1 /- Lucknow - Begum Hazarat mahal , Nana Sahab Peshwa .

2 /- Jhansi - Tatya Tope , Maharani Laxmi bai .

3/- Gorakhpur - Mangal pandey .

4 /- Calcutta - Shahji Bhonsale .

5 /- Bihar - Kuwanr Singh .

6 /- Banaras - Mahamaya .

7 /- Karnatak - Birsa Munda .

8 /- West Bengal - Mama , bhanje .

The main factor of 1857's revolt is only unsatisfactory of indians people and indian leader against british government. .

The main critically analysis the responsibility of Dalhousie in revolution of 1857 is cheat and cruelty of british government and bad and dirty behaviour with indians and India .

The argument are given blow -

1 - Hazrat Mehal clearly forbade to give any part of their kingdom to british government .

2 - British government stopped the pension of Nana Sahab Peshava .

3 - Mama bhanje had arrested due to disrespect of british flag .

(i) The powers of the East India Company was transferred to the British Crown in order to ensure a more responsible management of Indian affairs.

(ii)The Governor-General of India was given the title of Viceroy, that is, a personal representative of the Crown.

(iii) All ruling chiefs of the country were assured that their territory would never be annexed in future. They were allowed to pass on their kingdoms to their heirs, including adopted son. But they had to acknowledge the British queen as their Sovereign Paramount.
