[amp_mcq option1=”Allahabad” option2=”Calcutta” option3=”Bombay” option4=”Madras” correct=”option2″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (b), Calcutta.<\/p>\n
Queen Victoria’s Proclamation was read out by Lord Canning on 1st November, 1858 at a ceremony in Calcutta. The proclamation marked the end of the East India Company’s rule in India and the beginning of direct British rule.<\/p>\n
The proclamation was a significant event in Indian history, as it promised equality and justice to all Indians, regardless of their religion or caste. It also announced the establishment of a new government in India, which would be responsible for the welfare of all its subjects.<\/p>\n
The proclamation was read out in several cities across India, but the ceremony in Calcutta was the most important. This was because Calcutta was the capital of British India at the time. The ceremony was attended by a large number of people, including British officials, Indian princes, and ordinary citizens.<\/p>\n
The proclamation was a major turning point in Indian history. It marked the end of one era and the beginning of another. It also set the tone for British rule in India for the next century.<\/p>\n
The other options are incorrect because they are not the places where the proclamation was read out. Option (a), Allahabad, is a city in Uttar Pradesh, India. Option (c), Bombay, is a city in Maharashtra, India. Option (d), Madras, is a city in Tamil Nadu, India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
