Explanation:
The Nawab of Awadh was forced to give over half of his territory to the Company in 1801, as he failed to pay for the “subsidiary forces”. Later, in 1858, the state of Awadh was annexed by the British on the charges of mismanagement of the state. The annexation was seen as an act of betrayal and backstabbing by the British. It deeply hurt the sentiments of the people, particularly the sepoys, because most of them were from Awadh
