who led the revolt of 1857 in kanpur?
nana sahib
kanpur was an important centre of resistance during indian rebellion of 1857 (also known as the first war of indian independence and the sepoy mutiny). revolt broke out in june 1857 and nana sahib was declared as the peshwa of kanpur. the rebels defeated general hugh wheeler outside the city. but after a pitched battle sir colin campbell recaptured kanpur in december 1857. nana sahib and his lieutenant, tantiya tope, escaped the city. now the british ire was directed against the common people of kanpur. atrocities began to be committed against the masses. even innocent men and women were not spared. many people were being imprisoned in the prison-houses. wandering from place to place, nabin chandra appeared in kanpur. he was pained to see the people of kanpur being oppressed by the british soldiers and officers. he decided to intervene. he introduced himself as a monk from tibet (as he had secured spiritual enlightenment in tibet) and asked a british officer to stop oppressing the innocent people. but his request went unheeded. consequently, he had to use his spiritual power to temporarily weaken the soldiers under the british officer. now the officer had to heed to his request. nabin chandra also met the senior officer posted in the city and voluntarily got himself imprisoned to check how the prisoners were being treated. finally the senior military officer realised his mistake and ordered the release of nabin chandra and other prisoners who were with him. nabin chandra also got an assurance that innocent people would not be punished by the british military officers and soldiers under them. at this the released prisoners and the people present at the scene hailed nabin chandra as their saviour and coined the name tibbetibaba for him.
