Shah Mal was a rebel leader in 1857, who mobilised the agriculturalists of which of the following regions?

Chaurasee Des

The correct answer is Option 1 - Chaurasee Des

Shah Mal mobilised the villagers of pargana Barout in Uttar Pradesh in the revolt of 1857. Shah Mal lived in a large village in pargana Barout in Uttar Pradesh. He belonged to a clan of Jat cultivators whose kinship ties extended over chaurasee des (eighty-four villages). Shah Mal mobilized the headmen and cultivators of chaurasee des, moving at night from village to village, urging people to rebel against the British. Shah Mal’s men attacked government buildings, destroyed the bridge over the river, and dug up metalled roads. Locally acknowledged as the Raja, Shah Mal took over the bungalow of an English officer, turned it into a “hall of justice”, settling disputes and dispensing judgments. He also set up an amazingly effective network of intelligence. Shah Mal was killed in battle in July 1857.
