Question

Ranjeet was reading a biography of the Maharaja of Nabha who was dethroned by the British for supporting the Rakab Ganj Gurudwara Morcha and refusing to send his troops to fight the First World War. Who is this Maharaja??

• A. Maharaja Ranjit Singh
• B. Maharaja Ripudaman Singh
• C. Maharaja Bhupinder Singh
• D. Maharaja Kharak Singh

Answer 1

The correct option is B Maharaja Ripudaman Singh

Ripudaman Singh, the Maharaja of Nabha province, is known for his support rendered towards Rakab Ganj Gurudwara Morcha. He refused to send his troops to fight the First World War. Thus, the British wanted to get back at Ripudaman Singh. When there was a quarrel between Ripudaman Singh and Bhupinder Singh, the Maharaja of Patiala, the British supported the Maharaja of Patiala and slapped many cases on Ripudaman. Eventually, Ripudaman was dethroned.
