Which of the following hill station was founded during the 1815-16 Gurkha War?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Simla
The founding and settling of hill stations were initially connected with the needs of the British Army. Simla was founded during the course of the Gurkha War (1815-16); the Anglo-Maratha War of 1818 led to British interest in Mount Abu; and Darjeeling was wrested from the rulers of Sikkim in 1835.
