  1. Nana Saheb (19 May 1824 – 1859), born as Dhondu Pant, was an Indian Peshwa of the Maratha empire, aristocrat and fighter, who led the rebellion in Cawnpore (Kanpur) during the 1857 uprising.
  2. As the adopted son of the exiled Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao II, Nana Saheb believed that he was entitled to a pension from the East India Company, but the underlying contractual issues are rather murky.
  3. The Company's refusal to continue the pension after his father's death, as well as what he perceived as high-handed policies, compelled him to revolt and seek independence from company rule in India.
  4. He forced the British garrison in Cawnpore to surrender, then executed the survivors, gaining control of Cawnpore for a few days. He later disappeared, after his forces were defeated by a British force that recaptured Cawnpore.

The required answer is written in the below paragraph.

Born Dhondu Pant, Nana Saheb (19 May 1824–1859) was an Indian Peshwa of the Maratha empire, nobleman, and rebel who oversaw the insurrection in Cawnpore (Kanpur) in 1857.

Nana Saheb believed he was entitled to a pension from the East India Company as the adopted son of the exiled Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao II, although the underlying contractual issues are quite hazy.

He rebelled and sought independence from the corporate authority in India because the Company refused to extend the pension after his father passed away and because of what he saw as stifling rules.

He seized control of Cawnpore for a few days by forcing the British garrison there to submit and then killing the survivors. After his soldiers were routed by a British force that retook Cawnpore, he later vanished.

In 1859, he traveled to the Nepal Hills, where it is believed that he passed away.
