Question

Who of the following was neither captured nor killed by the British during the 1857 revolt?
A. Tantiya Tope
B. Nana Sahib
C. Mangal Pandey
D. Rani Laxmi Bai

Answer 1

Hint: The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a significant, at the end of the day ineffective, uprising in India in 1857–58 contrary to the standard of the British East India Company, which worked as a sovereign force for the benefit of the British Crown. Mangal Pandey was arrested and sentenced to death and Rani Lakshmi Bai also sacrificed her life on the altar of freedom.

Complete answer:
Nana Sahib was neither captured nor killed by the British. Nana Sahib was an Indian Maratha blue-blood and contender, who drove the resistance in Cawnpore (Kanpur) during the 1857 uprising. As the embraced child of the ousted Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao II, he was qualified for benefits from the English East India Company. The Company's refusal to proceed with the benefits after his dad's demise, just as what he saw as overbearing strategies, constrained him to revolt and look for freedom from organization rule in India. He constrained the British post in Cawnpore to give up, at that point executing the survivors, overseeing Cawnpore for a couple of days. After his powers were vanquished by the Britishers, he left and took shelter in the Nepal Hills in 1859, where he is thought to have passed on.

Thus, option (B) is correct.

Note:The Indian Rebellion of 1857 is also called India's First War of Independence and it began on 10 May 1857 at Meerut, as a mutiny of sepoys of the British East India Company's army. The insubordination started on 10 May 1857 as a revolt of sepoys of the Company's military in the post town of Meerut, 40 mi (64 km) upper east of Delhi (presently Old Delhi).
