          5. Begum Hazrat Mahal

          Regent of Awadh, 1857–1858

          Begum Hazrat Mahal (c. 1820 – 7 April 1879), also known as the Begum of Awadh, was the second wife of Nawab of AwadhWajid Ali Shah, and the regent of Awadh in 1857–1858.

          She is known for the leading role she had in the rebellion against the British East India Company during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

          After her husband had been exiled to Calcutta and the Indian Rebellion broke out, she made her son, Prince Birjis Qadr, the Wali (ruler) of Awadh, with herself as regent during his minority.

          However, she was forced to abandon this role after a short reign.[2] By way of Hallaur, she finally found asylum in Nepal, where she died in 1879.

          The paper argues that Begum Hazrat Mahal's intersectional positioning- from a courtesan to a queen-mother- has been sanitised to fit into the popular.

          Her role in the rebellion has given her a hero status in the post-colonial history of India.
