Correct Answer: Option D — a-4, b-1, c-2, d-3
Key Historical Context
Gulab Singh: He was a prominent general under Maharaja Ranjit Singh and was later recognized as the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir following the Treaty of Amritsar (1846).

Maharaja Ranjit Dev: He ruled Jammu in the 18th century. His reign is often called the "Golden Age" of Jammu because he turned the city into a sanctuary for refugees from all faiths, earning it the title Dar-ul-Aman (Abode of Peace/Safety)—often referred to in texts as Dar-Ul-Alam in this specific exam context.

Mian Deedo: A celebrated warrior who fought against the expansion of the Sikh Empire into the Jammu hills during the early 19th century. He is a symbol of regional resistance and valor.

Treaty of Lahore: Signed on March 9, 1846, between the British and the Sikhs. It followed the defeat of the Sikhs in the First Anglo-Sikh War. (Note: The Battle of Gujrat was a decisive battle in the Second Anglo-Sikh War, but in the context of many regional history exams, these two are often paired to test knowledge of the Anglo-Sikh conflict locations).
Answer verified by Quintessence Classes faculty — Karan Nagar, Srinagar.
