Question 1HardLevel 1
What conclusion can be drawn from different leadership in different regions during the Revolt of 1857?
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: C. The Revolt of 1857 was a major uprising against British rule, but it did not have one single leader or exactly the same cause in every region. Soldiers, rulers, landlords, peasants and other groups joined for different reasons. Local political annexations, loss of privileges, revenue pressure, military grievances and fears about social or religious interference shaped the revolt differently from place to place. Therefore, different regional leaders and patterns show that local grievances influenced the character of the uprising. A is wrong because the revolt opposed British authority rather than supporting it. B is wrong because it spread across several important centres in North and Central India. D is wrong because the Indian National Congress was founded later, in 1885, and did not direct the revolt. Memory cue: one revolt, many centres, many local causes.
What strategy of Congress is shown by accepting separate electorates in the Lucknow Pact?
Correct answer: B
The direct answer is B: “Compromising for immediate political unity.” The Lucknow Pact of 1916 brought the Indian National Congress and the All-India Muslim League closer for joint constitutional demands against British rule. Congress accepted separate electorates for Muslims in the agreement. This acceptance was a political compromise intended to create unity and cooperation at that particular stage of the freedom struggle. It does not mean that every later political problem was solved, and historians also discuss its limitations. Option A is wrong because the pact was not a decision to abandon peasant movements. Option B is correct because it describes the immediate strategy of accepting a concession to build united political action. Option C is wrong because the Congress did not regard British rule as permanently acceptable; the broader aim remained self-government and freedom. Option D is wrong because the INA was associated mainly with Subhas Chandra Bose during the Second World War, much later than the pact. Exam cue: Lucknow Pact means Congress-League cooperation, compromise and temporary political unity.
