Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The rebel leaders issued Proclamations and few Ishthahars (or Ishtahars) to propagate their ideas during the 1857 Revolt.

Key Details:

Proclamations: These were formal declarations by rebel leaders (e.g., Bahadur Shah Zafar, Nana Saheb, Kunwar Singh) to rally people against British rule.

Ishthahars (Ishtahars): These were posters or pamphlets distributed among the public to spread messages of resistance, religious unity, and anti-colonial sentiments.

Content: They often appealed to Hindus and Muslims to unite, criticized British policies, and called for the restoration of pre-colonial rule.

These documents were crucial in mobilizing public support and spreading the rebellion’s ideology across North and Central India.
