Who provided leadership in Mewat during the revolution of 1857?

Correct option is C

Information Booster:

• During the Revolt of 1857, Mewat (a region in present-day Haryana and Rajasthan, inhabited mainly by Meo Muslims) also saw uprisings against British rule. The leadership in this region was provided by Sadruddin, a local leader of the Meo community.

• Sadruddin mobilized the Meo peasants and challenged British authority in the region.

• His leadership was crucial in galvanizing local resistance and organizing guerilla-style attacks on British posts and collaborators.

• The Meos, being agriculturists and familiar with the terrain, played an important role in regional revolts.

Additional Knowledge:

• Ahmadullah: He was a prominent leader in Faizabad, not Mewat. Known as the "Maulvi of Faizabad," he led one of the most sustained revolts in Awadh.

• Ghulam Ghaus: He was associated with Delhi, particularly in coordination with Bahadur Shah Zafar.

• Mulla Sali: No significant historical record places him as a major figure in the Mewat region during 1857.
