Select the correct answer from the codes given below :
Explanation
The correct chronological order of the events is as follows:
- Death of Nana Fadnavis (1800): The influential Maratha statesman died in March 1800, which led to a power vacuum and internal strife within the Maratha Confederacy.
- Recall of Wellesley (1805): Lord Wellesley served as Governor-General from 1798 to 1805. He was recalled by the Court of Directors due to the heavy financial burden caused by his expansionist policies and wars.
- Vellore Mutiny (1806): This was the first large-scale mutiny by Indian sepoys against the British East India Company, occurring in July 1806 in response to new dress codes that offended religious sentiments.
- Anglo-Nepalese War (1814–1816): Also known as the Gorkha War, it was fought during the tenure of Lord Hastings and ended with the Treaty of Sugauli.
Thus, the sequence is 2, 3, 1, 4.
