Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Bundela rebellion under Chhatrasal was significantly influenced by Chhatrapati Shivaji. When Chhatrasal sought to serve Shivaji, the Maratha leader instead advised him to return to Bundelkhand and initiate local hostilities against Aurangzeb to liberate his native land [1]. Emulating Maratha tactics, Chhatrasal successfully levied 'chauth' (one-fourth of revenue) from Mughal territories to sustain his struggle. By 1705, recognizing the difficulty of suppressing the Bundelas while preoccupied in the Deccan, Aurangzeb opted for a conciliatory approach [1]. He made peace with Chhatrasal, granting him a high mansab of four-thousand (4000), effectively acknowledging his local authority. This strategic compromise allowed Chhatrasal to consolidate his power, eventually leading to the establishment of an independent Bundela state with its capital at Panna after Aurangzeb's death.
