Question

In the 1857 rebellion, with whose cooperation did Rani Lakshmibai revolt in Gwalior?

Hint:

He was a top commander of Nana Sahib who helped capture Gwalior fort.

Answer 1

This question checks a key alliance from the final phase of the 1857 revolt.

1. After the fall of Jhansi, Rani Lakshmibai did not give up. She retreated with her troops toward Gwalior.
2. There she teamed up with Tatya Tope, who had already led successful campaigns for Nana Sahib in the Kanpur region.
3. Together they took control of the Gwalior fort, briefly restoring rebel authority in the region before British forces regrouped.
4. Rani Lakshmibai lost her life fighting near Gwalior shortly after this, but the joint stand with Tatya Tope remains a defining moment of the uprising.

The answer is Tatya Tope.
