Q1A princely state keeps its ruler, but a British representative influences its external decisions and limits independent action. What broad policy idea is shown?
The description shows indirect control: the ruler remains in place, but British influence reduces real autonomy. That is different from full self-rule or a reform movement.
Q2What immediate military grievance is most closely linked with the outbreak of 1857?
The cartridge issue became a visible military grievance for many sepoys. It was important because it added to existing distrust and fear.
Q3Which statement is NOT correct about social, economic and cultural conditions during the medieval period?
Medieval India was shaped by agriculture, towns, artisans, and trade, not by modern factory production. The incorrect statement removes the historical setting and replaces it with a later industrial one.
Q4A princely state keeps its ruler but accepts British supervision in outside affairs. What broad policy idea is shown?
This shows indirect British control: the ruler remains, but the state's freedom is limited by outside supervision and alliance conditions. The other options do not fit a controlled princely state.
Q5Which match best classifies evidence in a school-level lesson on Mughal-Rajput relations?
