Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Delan Shah was a Gond raja who ruled the Ramgarh-Dhilwar-Madanpur estate of the Chawarpatha pargana and was a leading tribal hero of the 1857 First War of Independence in this region. Under his leadership the rebels attacked the Tendukheda and Chawarpatha police stations; he was captured and hanged by the British on 16 May 1858. His birthplace village, Madanpur (near Tendukheda/Dhilwar), lies in the present-day Narsinghpur district of Madhya Pradesh. Hence the correct answer is Narsinghpur.
