Which one of the following territories was not affected by the Revolt of 1857?
- Jhansi
- Chittor
- Jagdishpur
- Lucknow
Explanation
Option (b) is correct
- In Lucknow, Begum Hazrat Mahal led the resistance against the British following the annexation of Awadh, with Henry Lawrence killed during the siege and the city later recaptured by Colin Campbell in 1858. In Jhansi, Rani Lakshmibai fought against British forces after they refused to recognise her adopted son as heir, and she defended Jhansi against Sir Hugh Rose before being martyred in 1858. In Jagdishpur (Bihar), Kunwar Singh led the revolt against British rule, driven by oppressive policies and local grievances, and became a key figure of resistance in the region. Chittor/Chittorgarh is not mentioned as a centre of the uprising, confirming it was not affected in 1857.
