Solution
- Nana Saheb's main grievance against the British was the denial of his pension.
- As the adopted son of the exiled Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao II, he was denied the pension that his father had been receiving from the British East India Company.
- This financial injustice fuelled his resentment and led him to play a key role in the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
