please mark as brainlest
Birjis Qadr was the son of the deposed Nawab Wajid Ali Shah of Awadh. His mother Begum Hazrat Mahal took an active part in organising the uprising against the British. He became the Nawab of Awadh during the Mutiny and acknowledged the authority of Bahadur Shah Zafar.
Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jansi joined the rebelling Sepoys and fought the British along with Tantia Tope, the general of Nana Saheb.
The new class of leaders during the rebellion were Ahmadullah Shah, Bakht Khan and Kunwar Singh.
The British were greatly outnumbered by the rebel forces. They were defeated in a number of battles. More and more states joined in the rebellion. This shook the confidence of the British, consequently many new Indian leaders came to power.
