Answer 2

Tatya Tope whose full name is Ramchandra Pandurang Tope is one of the first freedom fighters in India who encouraged people back in the mid 18th centuries to rebel against the British East India company

He was a close associate of nana saheb and joined the then Indian forces to revolt against the British atrocities. Given the lack of awareness of people at that point of time against the authoritarian rule of British East India Company, Tatya Tope realised the power of rebellion for an independent future India.
