Given below are Assertion (A) and Reason (R) : Assertion A : The Revolt of 1857 in the Haryana region lacked a centralized leadership, leading to fragmented tribal and localized peasant uprisings rather than a unified military campaign. Reason R : The strategic assassination of Nawab Abdur Rahman Khan of Jhajjar before the outbreak of the mutiny decapitated the central command of the Haryana rebels. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The Revolt of 1857 in Haryana

• The revolt in the Haryana region began with the mutiny of the troops at Ambala and Meerut and spread to Gurgaon, Rohtak, Hisar, Sirsa, Hansi and Rewari.
• The uprising was led at different places by different chiefs, such as Rao Tula Ram at Rewari, Raja Nahar Singh at Ballabgarh, Nawab Abdur Rahman Khan at Jhajjar, Nawab Ahmad Ali at Farrukhnagar and Hukam Chand Jain at Hansi, and there was no single central command. It thus remained a series of localized uprisings. Hence, Assertion A is true.
• Nawab Abdur Rahman Khan of Jhajjar was not assassinated before the outbreak of the revolt. He joined the rebels, was tried by the British after the suppression of the revolt and was publicly hanged at Delhi in December 1857, and his estate was confiscated. Hence, Reason R is false.
• Therefore, A is true but R is false.
