Q. Point out where the 1857 uprising did not take place
(a) Avadh
(b) Madras
(c) Madhya Pradesh
(d) East Punjab
Ans: (b) Madras
Explanation: The correct answer is (b) Madras.
The 1857 uprising, also known as the Indian Rebellion or the First War of Independence, was a significant revolt against British rule in India. It occurred in various parts of the country, but Madras (now Chennai) was not one of the major centers of the uprising.
However, it’s important to note that while Madras did not witness a major uprising during 1857, there were sporadic incidents of rebellion and resistance against British rule in different parts of the region. These incidents were localized and not part of the widespread rebellion that took place in regions like Avadh (Oudh), Bihar, Delhi, and parts of North India.
Avadh (also known as Oudh), Madhya Pradesh (Central India), and East Punjab were among the regions where the uprising had a significant impact, with active participation from local leaders and rebels. The rebellion in Avadh, in particular, was a crucial center of resistance against British rule.
So, the correct answer is (b) Madras, where the 1857 uprising did not take place on a large scale.
