The correct option is A
Communal Amity Explanation:
The Azamgarh Proclamation of 25th August 1857 is one of the main sources of knowledge about what the rebels wanted in the 1857 revolt. It was issued to stress the importance of communal amity among the rebels, emphasizing the need of Hindus and Muslims to join their hands to drive out the English and protect their own religious customs and rituals. This proclamation was published in the Delhi Gazette in the midst of the “Great Mutiny” of 1857. The author was most probably Firoz Shah, a grandson of the Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar.
