1. Vellore Mutiny
2. Death of Nana Fadnavis

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.
