Q1In the history of Rajasthan's peasant movements, Vijay Singh Pathik is most appropriately associated with which pair?

A Mangarh movement and Eki movement
B Bijolia peasant movement and Begun satyagraha
C Nasirabad mutiny and Auwa resistance
D Jaipur foundation and Jantar Mantar observatories
Explanation

Vijay Singh Pathik is a central figure in the Bijolia peasant movement and the Begun satyagraha, both directed against feudal exactions in Rajasthan. Govind Giri, Motilal Tejawat, Thakur Kushal Singh and Sawai Jai Singh II belong to different contexts.

Q2Which set correctly identifies the princely states that formed the Matsya Union during the integration of Rajasthan?

A Alwar, Bharatpur, Dholpur and Karauli
B Jodhpur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer and Jaipur
C Udaipur, Bundi, Kota and Dungarpur
D Ajmer, Mount Abu, Mewar and Marwar
Explanation

The Matsya Union was an early union of eastern Rajputana states: Alwar, Bharatpur, Dholpur and Karauli. Jodhpur, Udaipur, Bundi, Kota, Jaipur and Marwar belonged to different political contexts in the broader 1948-1949 integration process.

Q3Which identification of the Vijay Stambh is historically correct for medieval Mewar?

A The Tower of Victory at Chittor raised by Rana Kumbha of Mewar
B An astronomical observatory founded by Sawai Jai Singh II at Jaipur
C The hill fort of Marwar founded by Rao Jodha at Jodhpur
D The palace complex built to mark the formation of Greater Rajasthan in 1949
Explanation

Vijay Stambh is the Tower of Victory at Chittor raised by Rana Kumbha of Mewar. Jaipur's Jantar Mantar belongs to Sawai Jai Singh II, Mehrangarh to Rao Jodha's Jodhpur, and the 1949 integration of Rajasthan is a modern political event.

Q4Arrange the following Rajasthan history developments in correct chronological order: I. Battle of Khanwa II. Battle of Haldighati III. Most Rajput states entering subsidiary-alliance treaties with the British IV. Inauguration of Greater Rajasthan

A I, II, III, IV
B II, I, III, IV
C I, III, II, IV
D III, I, II, IV
Explanation

Khanwa occurred in 1527, followed by Haldighati in 1576. The subsidiary-alliance treaties of 1818 and the inauguration of Greater Rajasthan on 30 March 1949 come much later, so the chronological order is I, II, III, IV.

Q5Consider the following statements about the Bijolia movement: I. It was a long peasant agitation in Mewar. II. Its immediate target was feudal levies and exactions. III. It is best treated as a princely-state mass movement rather than a mutiny of 1857. Which statements are correct?

A I and II only
B II and III only
C I, II and III
D I only
Explanation

The Bijolia movement was a long peasant agitation in Mewar against feudal levies, and it is studied as part of political awakening in the princely states. It should not be collapsed into the 1857 mutinies at places such as Nasirabad, Neemuch, Erinpura and Auwa.
