Best answer
(i) The Taluqdars of Awadh, for many generations had conrolled the lands and power in the countryside and had maintained armed retainers, built forts and enjoyed a degree of autonomy as long as they accepted the suzerainty of the Nawabs and paid the revenues of their Taluqas but the British were unwilling to tolerate the power of the Taluqdars. After the annexation, the Taluqdars were disarmed and their forts wete destroyed.
(ii) The British land revenue policy also hit the position of Taluqdars. In southern Awadh, the Taluqdars lost more than half of their total villages they previously held.
(iii) British revenue flows for the state increased and the burden of demand on the peasants did not decline the increase in the rovenue demandinerensed from 30 to 70 percent. Thus, neither the Talugdars nor the peasants had any reason to be happy with the annexation of Awadh.
(iv) In arcas lilke Awadh, where resistance during 1857 was intense and long lasung, taluqdars and thcir peasants had carried out the fighting.
