Bahadur Shah Zafar was the ruler of Delhi, during the 1857 rebellion. The Mughal Emperor was forced to give his assent to the mutiny as he had no other option left. In May 1857 Bahadur Shah Zafar accepted nominal leadership of mutiny in Delhi.

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.

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 (Lucknow), 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.
