Q. With reference to key Muslim leaders of the 1857 revolt, consider the following matches:
  1. Maulvi Ahmadullah Shah – Faizabad
  2. Khan Bahadur Khan Rohilla – Bareilly
  3. Bakht Khan – Meerut
  4. 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.
