please answer me fast I will mark you as brainliest....please​

Answer 1

The second big Muslim centre to offer tough resistance was Oudh. The

resistance movement here began on 30 May 1857. It was led by Hazrat Mahal, one of

the wives of Wajid Ali Shah who had not accompanied the deposed King to Calcutta

in February 1856. As soon as the news of the Meerut mutiny reached Lucknow,

Hazrat Mahal started organizing the resistance movement. For the first time a

politically aggrieved Shia kingdom declared a jihad against the British. Fazle Haq

served as counselor to Begam Hazrat Mahal.48 On 2 July 1857 the jihadis surrounded

the Residency and killed Henry Lawrence, the Resident. Hazrat Mahal took the

courageous decision to proclaim Brijis Qadar as King of Oudh. As Brijis Qadar was a

10 year-old minor at the time of his accession on 5 July 1857, she handled the

administration on behalf of the King. At the same time she foiled the attempts of the

British to recapture Lucknow till 16 March 1858. She was a modest lady who strictly

observed the pardah. She was, however, able to discharge her duties with the help of

certain loyal nobles, especially Nawab Ali Mohammad Khan alias Mammu Khan.

When need arose, she even appeared on the battlefield, albeit still under the veil.

However, in spite of her great efforts there was a thorough lack of discipline in the

ranks of the army owing to the incompetence of, and mutual rivalries within, the

nobility. She was helped by zealous men like Maulvi Ahmadullah Shah, Prince Feroz

Shah, Mohammad Ali alias Jaimi Green, and Fazle Haq Khairabadi. Ahmadullah

Shah, however, left on account of differences with Mammu Khan, who had become

jealous of him for his increasing influence. Hazrat Mahal was also supported by the

Hindu talukadr of Shahganj called Raja Man Singh, who provided nine thousand

soldiers. The British sent her several peace proposals. They also assured her of her

safety. She rejected them all and continued the struggle.49

When all the efforts made by her to repulse the British forces failed, Hazrat

Mahal escaped unnoticed from Qaisar Bagh on 14 March 1858. She reached Bareilly

via Bhairon, Mahmudabad, and Khairabad, where the resistance movement was stilln full swing. In Shahjahanpur she helped Maulana Ahmadullah Shah. However, her  failure to repulse the British eventually forced her to go to Nayakot in Nepal, where  she was received honourably and looked after by Rana Jang Bahadur till her death in  1874
