Q. With reference to key Muslim leaders of the 1857 revolt, consider the following matches:- Maulvi Ahmadullah Shah – Faizabad
- Khan Bahadur Khan Rohilla – Bareilly
- Bakht Khan – Meerut
- Ali Bahadur II of Banda – Bundelkhand
Which of the above matches are correct?
Answer:
Only 1, 2 and 4
Notes: Maulvi Ahmadullah Shah was associated with Faizabad; Khan Bahadur Khan Rohilla with Bareilly; Bakht Khan, though originally from Bareilly, was prominent as Commander in Delhi, not Meerut; Ali Bahadur II led in Bundelkhand. Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct, whereas 3 is incorrect regarding Bakht Khan's main area of leadership.
