Question

What is meant by the alleged misrule?

Answer 1

 On February 13, 1856, Lord Dalhousie annexed Awadh to the Company’s dominion on the pretext of alleged misrule. The annexation of Awadh was arbitrary as the British seemed to have broken their promises made to the ruling chiefs. This caused resentment among the Indians in general and Awadh in particular. Lord Dalhousie justified the annexation of Awadh on the pretext of “good of the governed”. But there was nothing to be worth “good”. The dissolution of the Nawab of Awadh’s army and administration threw thousands of nobles, officials and soldiers out of jobs. The British confiscated the estates of the zamindars and talukdars. The dispossessed Zamindars became enemies of the British. The annexation also affected the Sepoys from Awadh in the British army-‘s financial position. They had to pay higher taxes for the lands their families held in Awadh.
