Explanation:

Nana Sahib was a prominent figure in the rebellion of 1857 and was associated with the city of Kanpur. He played a key role in the uprising in Kanpur.

Kunwar Singh was a notable leader from Bihar who participated in the rebellion. He led the uprising in the region of Arrah and fought against the British forces.

Birjis Qadr was the son of the last Nawab of Awadh, Wajid Ali Shah. The events in Awadh (Oudh) were a significant part of the rebellion, and Birjis Qadr was associated with the resistance in that region.

Shah Mal mobilised the villagers of pargana Barout in Uttar Pradesh in the revolt of 1857. Shah Mal lived in a large village in pargana Barout in Uttar Pradesh. He belonged to a clan of Jat cultivators whose kinship ties extended over chaurasee des (eighty-four villages). Shah Mal mobilized the headmen and cultivators of chaurasee des, moving at night from village to village, urging people to rebel against the British.
