D) Arrows, Elephants and Cavalry

Answer 1

Hint: Banda Singh Bahadur was a Hindu-Sikh warrior and a Khalsa army commander. Guru Gobind Singh, who came here to seek the help of Lakshman das, became his disciple and gave him the new name of Banda Bahadur.

Complete answer:
Guru Gobind Singh with the help of the Sikh army, he marched towards Khanda and fought against the Mughals in the Battle of Sonipat. In 1709, at the Battle of Samana, he defeated the Mughals and captured the Mughal city of Samana. His invasions were full of fierce and indiscriminate, where Banda Singh and his army suffered heavily from Muslim populations. Muslim cities were ransacked as ruthless and children, women and old men were indiscriminately killed, and it is even mentioned that the wombs of mothers were torn apart and unborn babies were also killed in Muslim utter cruelty. It is known that Banda Singh Bahadur stopped the system of Zamindari and Taluqdari during the time he was active and gave the farmers ownership of their own land. He received Arrows, Khand and Nagara from Guru Gobind Singh as he was his disciple. All classes of government officials seem to have been addicted to extortion and corruption, and the entire system of regulation and order has been subverted. Several campaigns in the Hindu-dominated Indian subcontinent were carried out by Islamic armies, making conquests restricted to present-day Pakistan and the Punjab. The Samana Fight has seen tremendous collateral damage. The invasion of Banda Singh was aggressive and Muslim communities suffered heavily in the hands of Banda Singh and his army.
Hence, the correct answer is, ‘A) Arrows, Khand and Nagara’.

Note: Banda Bahadur Singh was tortured to death by hot red irons and he pleaded guilty in front of the muslim judge when he was taken as prisoner in Delhi as he refused to give up his faith and convert to Islam.
