Question

which aspects of ther revolt gave the masses the confidence to suppport the rebels to the fullest ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer.

Rani Lakshmibai was the queen of Jhansi. She had adopted a son. Hence, she wanted her son to be the ruler of Jhansi. However, according to Lord Dalhousie’s Doctrine of Lapse policy, an adopted heir will not be allowed to acquire the kingdom once the father dies and the same will be annexed by the British. Hence, Rani Lakshmibai’s demand for recognizing her adopted son as the male heir of the kingdom was refused by the British.
