Which of the following hill station was wrested from the rulers of Sikkim in 1835?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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.
