Bhaskar Rao Bhave, also known as Baba Saheb of Nargund, was a Zamindar of Nargund in Gadag district of Karnataka, India, who revolted against British rule during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
Bhaskar Rao Bhave came to the throne of Nargund in 1842 and was an efficient administrator. He did not have a son and successor and planned to adopt a son as heir. However, under the Doctrine of lapse, the British refused to recognise the adoption, which enraged Baba Saheb. He rallied the support of other local rulers like Mundaragi Bhimaraya, Surpur Venkatappa Nayakaand to lead an insurrection. Baba Saheb was aware of the rebellion in the north and wanted to coordinate his revolt with it. On learning that he had accumulated a large amount of artillery and ammunition in his fort, the British asked him to deposit them in Dharwad. Baba Saheb feigned cooperation and sent the weapons towards Dharwad, but at the same time secretly organised an attack on the convoy and brought them back to Nargund. [2]
In May 1858, when the British sent a large force to Nargund, he attacked the force and killed its commanding officer Manson. He brought Manson's severed head to his fort and displayed it to his people. He then went on to capture the British held Koppaldurg fort. [3] When he attacked the fort of Amargol, the British countered by sending a large force to Nargund. Baba Saheb and his army of 2,500 fought bravely, but several men from his camp betrayed him and joined the British and he was defeated. Baba Saheb escaped to a nearby forest near Torgal, but was betrayed and captured by the British. [4] On 12 June 1858, he was executed in Belgaum. [5]
Bhaskar Rao Bhave was depicted in the Kannada language television serial 'Nargund Baba Saheb'. [6]

The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a major uprising in India in 1857–58 against the rule of the British East India Company, which functioned as a sovereign power on behalf of the British Crown. The rebellion began on 10 May 1857 in the form of a mutiny of sepoys of the company's army in the garrison town of Meerut, 40 mi (64 km) northeast of Delhi. It then erupted into other mutinies and civilian rebellions chiefly in the upper Gangetic plain and central India, though incidents of revolt also occurred farther north and east. The rebellion posed a military threat to British power in that region, and was contained only with the rebels' defeat in Gwalior on 20 June 1858. On 1 November 1858, the British granted amnesty to all rebels not involved in murder, though they did not declare the hostilities to have formally ended until 8 July 1859.
Nana Saheb Peshwa II, born as Dhondu Pant, was an Indian aristocrat and fighter, who led the rebellion in Cawnpore (Kanpur) during the 1857 rebellion against the East India Company. As the adopted son of the exiled Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao II, Nana Saheb believed that he was entitled to a pension from the company, but as he was denied recognition under Lord Dalhousie's doctrine of lapse, he initiated a rebellion. He forced the British garrison in Kanpur to surrender, then murdered the survivors, gaining control of the city for a few days. After a British force recaptured Kanpur, Nana Saheb disappeared, with multiple conflicting accounts existing of his further life and death.
