Due to the displacement of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah and taluqdars.
Explanation:
The British annexation of Awadh and Nawab Wajid Ali Shah's forced exile stirred strong resentment among the local nobility and taluqdars, who lost their traditional authority and privileges. This displacement ignited widespread anger, turning Awadh into a symbol of resistance as elites and ordinary people united against British rule.
