The Revolt of 1857 saw the active participation of several prominent leaders:

• Maulvi Ahmadullah Shah – A key leader in Awadh (Oudh) who played a major role in mobilising local forces against the British.

• Rani Laxmi Bai – The queen of Jhansi, who fought valiantly against the British after the annexation of her kingdom under the Doctrine of Lapse.

• Nana Sahib – The adopted son of the last Peshwa, Baji Rao II, who led the revolt in Kanpur.

Sidhu Manjhi, on the other hand, was not connected to the Revolt of 1857. He was a Santhal leader wholed the Santhal Rebellion of 1855–56, which was separate from the 1857 uprising.
