No I haven't heard it di...and I'm surprised how and why i didn't know about this...😲😆
I know what a lazy lad our Nawab was...the tales of his laziness are soo famous you know...😆
But this tale seems a bit illogical to me, I mean why would entire India suffer due to Lko? I mean we were the last ones to come under Britishers rule, that too by deceit, but by that time entire India was already under Brits rule na...
It was only Lucknow people who suffered due to the Nawab's laziness...not the entire country.
And Awadh was annexed on account on alleged misrule...and people were quite disheartened and shocked at this fake accusation. And it is said that Awadh was a territory loyal to the British, and hence they hadn't expected to be annexed like this.
But then, I am not supporting the Nawab in any way. In fact how could he be so lazy? 😡 And loyal to the British, seriously? God, you could be loyal to your country damnit! 😡
But you di, Begum Hazrat Mahal, his wife took charge of the revolt in Lucknow... now if king wouldn't pay heed to his responsibilities, its the queen's turn na! In fact, she's a lady very much admired here...we have a park named after her.
I think India was cursed the day Brits stepped on it's land... after that it was just fulfillment of that curse!
