Solution

The correct option is B
Revolt of 1857
1857 का विद्रोह

Explanation:

In 1857, soon after the sepoys rose against the East India Company in a burst of volcanic fury, the Delhi Gazette carried a proclamation issued in the name of the Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar. Popularly called the Azamgarh Proclamation, this was authored most likely by a junior member of the imperial household, though its contents are not remotely less fascinating on this account. Besides predictable denouncements of the “tyranny and oppression of the treacherous" English, the document was also a manifesto that sought to win support from influential quarters, offering—like political manifestos today—a cascade of promises. Thus, for instance, the rights of zamindars were guaranteed, just as attractive pay was guaranteed to soldiers. More interestingly, among promises made to the commercial classes was one that speaks much of the age in which the mutiny took place. For it was pledged to men of trade that when the badshahi regime was restored, they would enjoy “gratis" the use of “government steam-vessels and steam carriages for the conveyance" of their all-important merchandise.

व्याख्या:

1857 में ईस्ट इंडिया कंपनी के खिलाफ सिपाहियों के विद्रोह करने के तुरंत बाद, दिल्ली के राजपत्र में मुगल सम्राट बहादुर शाह जफर के नाम से एक घोषणा जारी की गयी।इसे आज़मगढ़ उद्घोषणा के नाम से जाना जाता है।इसमें विश्वासघाती और अत्याचारी अंग्रेजी शासन का भंडाफोड़ किया गया था।दस्तावेज़ एक घोषणा पत्र भी था जिसमें प्रभावशाली सैनिकों से समर्थन की मांग की गई थी। उदाहरण के लिए, इसमें ज़मींदारों के अधिकारोंतथा सैनिकों को आकर्षक वेतन की गारंटी दी गई थी।इसमें व्यावसायिक वर्गों के लिए भी वादे किये गए थे। व्यापारियों को वचन दिया गया था कि जब बादशाही शासन बहाल हो जायेगा तो वे अपनी सभी महत्वपूर्ण व्यापारिक वस्तुओं के लिए "सरकारी भाप-जहाजों का उपयोग कर सकेंगे।
