Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A In later years, Gonds wanted to be recognised as Rajputs.
B Dalpat, the son of Sangram Shah married a Rajput princess Durgawati.

Gonds wanted to be recognised as Rajput clan in their later years. Sangram Shah got his son Dalpat married to Durgawati, a Rajput princess. However, Dalpat died while fighting Mughal forces. Durgawati met the same fate. She was ruling the kingdom on behalf of her five year old son named Bir Narain.
