Hello,
During the Revolt, the British had realized that the Mughal emperor was still important to the people and they saw him as their leader.
It was therefore important to celebrate British power with pomp and show in the city the Mughal emperors has earlier ruled and the place which had turned into a rebel stronghold in 1857.
These line from a history book.
I am not able to understand the meaning of the sentences written in bold words.
Could anyone here explain it or make it more easier to understand?
Thanks.

Hi, The city was very important to the people, because of its history. The British decided to have a big, fancy ceremony, because they wanted to show the people that Britain was now the big and powerful boss of the city. Clive
