Question

On February 21 at the Battle of Gujarat, the Sikh army surrendered which of the following places?
A) Gandhinagar
B) Rawalpindi
C) Karachi
D) Lahore

Answer 1

Hint: The Battle of Gujarat, fought on February 21, 1849, between British soldiers and Sikhs, was the decisive battle of the Second Anglo-Sikh War. The British East India Company's Bengal and Bombay Armies destroyed the depleted Sikh army, which was hampered by a lack of supplies.

Complete answer:
At the Battle of Gujrat, the British East India Company triumphed, and the Sikh army was followed to Rawalpindi, where it surrendered its weaponry and their Afghan allies retreated from Punjab.
Rawalpindi, commonly known as Pindi, is the capital of Pakistan's Punjab province and the Rawalpindi Division. Rawalpindi is Pakistan's fourth-largest city proper. Rawalpindi is located near Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, and the two are referred to as "twin cities" because of their strong social and economic relations.

The Battle of Gujrat, which took place on February 21, gave Gough a total victory. The Sikh army was followed until Rawalpindi, where it put down its arms. General Wish captured the Multan fortress on January 22, then moved on to the Gujarat war, when the Sikh army was forced to surrender at Rawalpindi and their Afghan allies were chased out of India. In 1849, the British captured the city.

Hence, the correct answer is option B, Rawalpindi.

Note: For some freedom-loving Sikhs, the British's expanding presence in Punjab was difficult to bear. Mulraj, the Multan chieftain, revolted against the British. The Sikhs, on the other hand, lost this second war, and the British annexed Punjab to their dominions in 1849.
