THE BATTLE OF KANPUR

At Kanpur, the troops got rebellious and killed their British officers. They were led by Nana sahib who was against the British as the British had stopped his pension. A british force managed to fight with rebellions for some time but they surrendered on the promise that they would not be hurt. However, they were attacked by the forces of Nana Sahib who killed almost every soldier, women and children. Four soldiers and hundred women and children survived who were taken as prisoners. When the British captured the city, these British were also killed. In retaliation, the British also massacred the people of Kanpur but they could not arrest Nana sahib.

Explanation:

The Siege of Cawnpore was a key episode in the Indian rebellion of 1857. The besieged Company forces and civilians in Cawnpore (now Kanpur) were unprepared for an extended siege and surrendered to rebel forces under Nana Sahib, in return for a safe passage to Allahabad.

However, their evacuation from Cawnpore turned into a massacre, and most of the men were killed. As an East India Company rescue force from Allahabad approached Cawnpore, 120 British women and children captured by the Sepoy forces were killed in what came to be known as the Bibighar Massacre, their remains being thrown down a nearby well in an attempt to hide the evidence. Following the recapture of Cawnpore and the discovery of the massacre, the angry Company forces engaged in widespread retaliation against captured rebel soldiers and local civilians. The murders greatly embittered the British rank-and-file against the Sepoy rebels and inspired the war cry "Remember Cawnpore!".
