After the death of Shri Guru Gobind Singh, the Sikhs revolted against the __________ under the leadership of Banda Bahadur.

Mughals

The correct answer is Option 2 - Mughals

After the death of Shri Guru Gobind Singh, the Sikhs revolted against the Mughals under the leadership of Banda Bahadur.

The Sikh revolt was a response to the persecution of Sikhs by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Aurangzeb had executed Guru Teg Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru, in 1675, and he had destroyed many Sikh temples and shrines.

Banda Bahadur was a Sikh general who was appointed by Guru Gobind Singh to lead the Sikhs after his death. Banda Bahadur raised an army of Sikhs and defeated the Mughal forces in several battles. He also established a Sikh kingdom in Punjab.

However, Banda Bahadur was eventually defeated by the Mughals in 1716. He was captured and executed, along with many of his followers.

The Sikh revolt was a significant event in Sikh history. It was a sign of the Sikhs' determination to resist persecution and to maintain their independence. The revolt also helped to spread the Sikh faith throughout India.
