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).

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

In areas like Awadh where resistance during 1857 was intense and long lasting, the fighting was carried out by taluqdars and their peasants. Many of these taluqdars were loyal to the Nawab of Awadh, and they joined Begum Hazrat Mahal (the wife of the Nawab) in Lucknow to fight the British; some even remained with her in defeat.

Gonoo, a tribal cultivator of Singhbhum in Chotanagpur, became a rebel leader of the Kol tribals of the region.
