>Nana Saheb Peshwa II, born as Dhondu Pant, was an Indian Peshwa of the Maratha empire, aristocrat and fighter, who led the rebellion in Kanpur during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
>Because the British had this policy of 'Doctrine of Lapse' that did not recognize adopted sons as heirs to the throne. As Nana Saheb was adopted and not a natural heir, his claim to Baji Rao II's throne was ruled out.
