Revolt of 1857 in Rajasthan MCQ — 3 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

Thakur Khushal Singh was the chief of Aauwa and became one of the prominent rebel leaders in Rajasthan during the Revolt of 1857. The rebellion associated with him is remembered for resistance from Aauwa against British authority and allied princely forces. Kota had its own 1857 uprising, but it was not led by Khushal Singh. Nasirabad was an important cantonment where sepoys revolted, yet it was not his centre of leadership. Erinpura is linked with military unrest in 1857, but Khushal Singh's leadership is specifically tied to Aauwa.

Explanation

Sardar Singh was the ruler of Bikaner during the Revolt of 1857 and is remembered for assisting the British with military support. Ratan Singh had ruled Bikaner earlier and died before the rebellion began, so he cannot be the ruler in question. Ganga Singh belonged to a much later period, with his reign beginning in the late nineteenth century. Dungar Singh succeeded after Sardar Singh and was also not the ruler during 1857. Thus Sardar Singh fits both the time frame and the act of supporting the British army.

Explanation

Thakur Kushal Singh of Auwa is remembered for defeating the combined force of the British and Jodhpur State during the 1857 uprising in Rajasthan. His resistance made Auwa one of the major centres of revolt in Marwar. Jaydayal and Mehrab Khan are associated with the Kota uprising, not this clash with the British-Jodhpur force. Rawat Ram Singh is not the leader credited with this particular victory. The question therefore points specifically to Kushal Singh's role in the Auwa episode of 1857.
