Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is Kunwar Singh. He was a prominent Zamindar from Jagdishpur in the Arrah district (part of the Shahabad region) and played a crucial role in leading the Revolt of 1857 in Bihar.
Kunwar Singh, despite his advanced age, organized the local forces and led them against the British East India Company. He was particularly active in the districts of Arrah, Ara, and Shahabad, making him the central figure of the uprising in this region.
Other leaders like Raj Kumar Shukla were associated with the Champaran Satyagraha in 1917, which is a different historical event. Therefore, Kunwar Singh is the only correct option for the 1857 Revolt leadership in these specific districts.
