1Banda Singh Bahadur was originally known before becoming a Sikh warrior-leader as:
A.Only Wazir Khan of Sirhind
B.Only Ranjit Singh of Lahore
C.Only Ahmad Shah Abdali
D.Madho Das Bairagi (Lachman Dev)
Explanation: Born Lachman Dev, he lived as the ascetic Madho Das Bairagi before Guru Gobind Singh initiated him into the Khalsa mission.
2Who commissioned Banda Singh Bahadur to lead a campaign in the Punjab against Mughal oppression?
A.Only Nawab Kapur Singh exclusively as the sole initiator
B.Only Lord Dalhousie
C.Guru Gobind Singh
D.Only Maharaja Ranjit Singh
Explanation: At Nanded (around 1708), Guru Gobind Singh charged Banda with leading Sikhs against tyrannical Mughal officers in Punjab, notably connected with Sirhind.
3The Mughal governor of Sirhind most closely associated with the martyrdom of Guru Gobind Singh’s younger sons was:
A.Only Ranjit Singh
B.Only Lord Hardinge
C.Only Bhagat Singh
D.Wazir Khan
Explanation: Wazir Khan of Sirhind is remembered in Sikh history for the killing of Sahibzadas Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh; Banda’s campaign targeted him and Sirhind.
4In which year did Banda Singh Bahadur’s forces decisively defeat and kill Wazir Khan near Sirhind (Chappar Chiri area), enabling the capture of Sirhind?
A.1849
B.1809
C.1710
D.1931
Explanation: The Battle of Chappar Chiri and the fall of Sirhind are conventionally dated to May 1710, a landmark in early Sikh political power.
5A major stated motive of Banda Singh Bahadur’s campaign against Sirhind was to:
A.Annex Punjab for the British East India Company
B.Establish the Treaty of Amritsar with the British
C.Found the modern Indian National Congress
D.Avenge the killing of Guru Gobind Singh’s younger sons and end Wazir Khan’s tyranny
Explanation: Sikh tradition and Class 10 narratives stress justice for the Sahibzadas and resistance to Sirhind’s oppressive rule as central motives of Banda’s war.
6Banda Singh Bahadur is credited with abolishing the zamindari-style feudal claims in areas under his control and granting rights to:
A.Only East India Company landlords exclusively
B.Only Afghan jagirdars as the sole beneficiaries
C.Only British indigo planters
D.The tillers/cultivators of the land
Explanation: Histories of Banda’s brief republic stress land reforms: ending oppressive intermediaries and affirming cultivators’ rights—an important administrative legacy taught in PHC.
7Banda Singh Bahadur issued coins in the name of the Khalsa/Guru rather than in his personal royal style. This practice mainly signaled:
A.Acceptance of Afghan overlordship as permanent
B.Submission to the British Parliament
C.Sikh collective sovereignty and spiritual-political legitimacy under the Khalsa
D.Abolition of all Sikh institutions
Explanation: Early Sikh coinage under Banda stressed Khalsa/Guru authority, not personal dynastic kingship in the Mughal style—an important political message.
8Banda Singh Bahadur’s fort-capital associated with his early Sikh state is often identified as:
A.Only Calcutta
B.Only Singapore
C.Lohgarh
D.Only Madras
Explanation: Lohgarh (in the Shivalik foothills region) served as a principal fortified base/capital of Banda’s short-lived Sikh state.
9Banda Singh Bahadur was captured after a prolonged siege and later executed in Delhi in:
A.1716
B.1845
C.1799
D.1919
Explanation: After the siege of Gurdas Nangal (captured 1715), Banda and companions were taken to Delhi and martyred in June 1716—the standard terminal date in school histories.
10After Banda Singh Bahadur’s martyrdom, Mughal authorities intensified persecution of Sikhs. A longer-term result of his struggle was that it:
A.Immediately created the British Raj across all India in 1716
B.Merged Punjab into the Maratha Confederacy as a permanent province
C.Inspired later Sikh resistance and political organisation leading toward Misls and eventual Sikh power
D.Permanently ended all Sikh military activity forever
Explanation: Though crushed in the short term, Banda’s experiment in Sikh sovereignty is taught as a foundation for later 18th-century Sikh resurgence (Misls/Dal Khalsa).
