White "A Life story of Nana Saheeb" Nana Saheb, also known as Nana Sahib, was a prominent figure in the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny. Born as Dhondu Pant in 1824 in Bithur, near Kanpur, India, he was the adopted son of Peshwa Baji Rao II, the last Peshwa of the Maratha Empire. Early Life and Background: Dhondu Pant, later known as Nana Saheb, was raised in the Maratha tradition and was educated in the arts and administration of the time. His adoption by Baji Rao II positioned him as a significant figure in the Maratha hierarchy. Political and Social Role: Following the death of Baji Rao II in 1851, Nana Saheb was recognized by the British East India Company as the successor, but his official recognition was denied. The British decision to reject his claim to the pension and rights associated with his adopted status caused deep dissatisfaction. The Rebellion of 1857: Nana Saheb became a central leader in the 1857 uprising against British rule. Initially, he led a coalition of discontented soldiers, nobility, and local rulers. His leadership and organizational skills were instrumental in the initial successes of the rebellion in Kanpur. He proclaimed himself the Peshwa and sought to restore the Maratha Empire's past glory.
