Q. Which one of the following territories was not affected by the Revolt of 1857?
(a) Jhansi
(b) Chittor
(c) Jagdishpur
(d) Lucknow
Ans: (b) Chittor
Explanation:
Chittor, a historic city in present-day Rajasthan, was not directly affected by the Revolt of 1857. The Revolt of 1857, also known as the Indian Rebellion of 1857 or the First War of Independence, was a widespread uprising against British colonial rule in India.
Jhansi, located in present-day Uttar Pradesh, was one of the significant centers of the revolt. Rani Lakshmibai, the queen of Jhansi, played a prominent role in leading the resistance against the British.
Jagdishpur, located in present-day Bihar, was another region that witnessed active participation in the revolt. Kunwar Singh, a notable leader, fought against the British in this region.
Lucknow, the capital of the Awadh region in present-day Uttar Pradesh, was also a major center of the revolt. The Siege of Lucknow, a significant event during the revolt, saw intense fighting between the Indian rebels and the British forces.
However, Chittor, known for its historical significance as the former capital of the Mewar kingdom, did not play a significant role in the Revolt of 1857.
Therefore, the correct answer is (b) Chittor.
