Which Princely State was the most prominent state in Haryana during the 1857 Revolt?

Sirsa
Jind
Mewat
Rewari

The correct answer is B. Jind.

Jind was a princely state in the Indian subcontinent during the British Raj. It was located in the present-day state of Haryana. The state was founded in 1736 by Rao Budh Singh, a descendant of the Chauhan Rajputs. The capital of the state was Jind city.

During the 1857 Revolt, Jind was one of the few princely states that remained loyal to the British. The state’s ruler, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, provided troops and supplies to the British forces. He also helped to suppress the revolt in the neighboring states of Patiala and Nabha.

The state of Jind was merged with the Indian Union in 1948. It is now a part of the state of Haryana.
