Which of the following statements are true about 1857 Revolt?
(1) Even before the out break of the Revolt Mangal Pandey had become a martyr
(2) At Kanpur the revolt was led by Zeenat Mahal
(3) Kunwar Singh was the Chief Organiser of the revolt in Bihar
(4) Rani Lakshmi Bai died while fighting on 17 June 1859
Answer: C
Statements (1) and (3) are true: Mangal Pandey was martyred before the revolt broke out, and Kunwar Singh was the chief organiser of the revolt in Bihar.
The Kanpur revolt was led by Nana Sahib, not Zeenat Mahal, and Rani Lakshmi Bai died in June 1858, not 1859. So option C.
Mangal Pandey of the 34th Native Infantry attacked British officers at Barrackpore in March 1857 and was hanged in April, before the main revolt. Kunwar Singh of Jagdishpur led the revolt in Bihar. Nana Sahib led the revolt at Kanpur, and Rani Lakshmi Bai died in 1858, so (2) and (4) are wrong.
