Question

Why did the Maharaja not get Shikarpur or his annual tax after his quest against the Mazari tribe?

• A. Because Lord Auckland talked the Maharaja into not attacking the Mazari tribe again.
• B. Because Maharaja Ranjit Singh made an agreement with the Mazari tribe that he would not capture the regions if they paid an annual tax, which was later not paid to him.
• C. Because Maharaja Ranjit Singh had surrendered to the British by then.
• D. Because Maharaja Ranjit Singh was defeated in the battle.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Because Lord Auckland talked the Maharaja into not attacking the Mazari tribe again.

In 1834, the Maharaja captured the Mazari regions but Lord Auckland talked the Maharaja into not attacking the Mazari tribe again. Due to this, Maharaja could neither get Shikarpur nor the annual tax.
