The correct answer is: b) Suppression of dissent and tighter control<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Revolt of 1857, also known as the Indian Rebellion of 1857, was a major uprising in India against the rule of the British East India Company. The revolt began in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, on 10 May 1857, and spread to other parts of India. The rebels were defeated by the British, but the revolt had a significant impact on British rule in India.<\/p>\n The British responded to the revolt by suppressing dissent and tightening control over India. They abolished the East India Company and took direct control of India. They also introduced a number of reforms, including the Indian Councils Act of 1861, which increased Indian representation in the government.<\/p>\n The British policy towards Assam after the Revolt of 1857 was characterized by suppression of dissent and tighter control. The British were concerned about the possibility of another revolt, and they took steps to prevent it. They increased the number of British troops in Assam, and they cracked down on any signs of dissent. They also introduced a number of reforms, including the Assam Land and Revenue Regulation of 1886, which increased British control over land and revenue in Assam.<\/p>\n The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:<\/p>\n [amp_mcq option1=”Increased investment in infrastructure” option2=”Suppression of dissent and tighter control” option3=”Promotion of greater Assamese autonomy” option4=”Reconciliation with former Ahom nobility” correct=”option2″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[975],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-assam-state-gk-mcq","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
