Which state/s supported the British in suppressing the Revolt of 1857?
- Scindia of Gwalior
- Nizam of Hyderabad
- Begum of Awadh
Choose the correct option from the following.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Scindia of Gwalior and the Nizam of Hyderabad both stayed loyal and actively helped the British crush the 1857 uprising, so 1 and 2 are correct. The Begum of Awadh, Hazrat Mahal, was a rebel leader who fought the British and put her son Birjis Qadr on the throne of Awadh, so 3 is wrong. That leaves only 1 and 2.
