The correct answer is: b) Minimal.
The Revolt of 1857, also known as the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the Sepoy Mutiny, or the First War of Indian Independence, was a major uprising in India against British rule. It began in Meerut on 10 May 1857 and spread to other parts of northern and central India. The revolt was ultimately suppressed by the British, but it had a significant impact on the history of India.
The revolt had a minimal impact on Sikkim compared to some other parts of India. This is because Sikkim was a relatively small and isolated kingdom at the time. The British had only recently established control over Sikkim, and the local population was not as hostile to British rule as the population of some other parts of India. Additionally, the British were able to quickly suppress the revolt in Sikkim, which prevented it from spreading to other parts of the kingdom.
The following are brief explanations of each option:
- a) Similar. This option is incorrect because the revolt had a minimal impact on Sikkim compared to some other parts of India.
- b) Minimal. This option is correct because the revolt had a minimal impact on Sikkim.
- c) Significant but delayed. This option is incorrect because the revolt did not have a significant impact on Sikkim.
- d) Exaggerated. This option is incorrect because the revolt did not have an exaggerated impact on Sikkim.
