-The revolt of 1857 was set apart by the extreme enemy of British inclination and the organization was perpetually overturned wherever Mutiny occurred.

- Bahadur Shah Zafar and Bhakt Khan – Delhi
Bahadur Shah Zafar stayed just the emblematic head of the revolt. The genuine order of the defiance, at Delhi, lay in the possession of General Bakht Khan. He was a Subedar in the multitude of the East India Company and had driven the revolt of sepoys in Bareilly and carried them to Delhi.

- Rani Laxmi Bai – Jhansi
She loathed the British and was before long convinced by the revolutionaries to expect the administration of the insubordination in Jhansi. She was an exceptional fighter and one of the main figures of the Indian Rebellion of 1857. She turned into an image of protection from the British Raj for Indian patriots.
