Question

Which of the following events of the Uprising of 1857 and their leaders is not correctly matched?

विकल्प

• Lucknow − Begum Hazrat Mahal

• Kanpur − Nana Saheb

• Meerut − Tantia Tope

• Bareilly − Khan Bahadur

Answer 1

Meerut − Tantia Tope

Explanation:

Tantia Tope was a commander who fought with Nana Saheb and later operated around Kanpur/Kalpi. He was not the leader of the Meerut outbreak in Central India. The revolt actually began at Meerut on May 10, 1857, led by the sepoys (not by Tantia Tope).
