Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A Dissatisfaction among the Sikhs after the First Anglo-Sikh War.
C Salary cuts in the Sikh Army to fund the British army.
D Exile of Maharani Jindan.

The Sikh population felt insulted by the terms of the Treaty of Bhairowal. Dissatisfaction among the Sikhs after the First Anglo-Sikh War, the attack on cows by British soldiers, salary cuts in the Sikh Army by the Lahore government to fund the British army, exile of Maharani Jindan, and the resurgence of the British propaganda to annex Punjab were some of the causes that led to Second Anglo-Sikh War in 1848.
