In the 19th century, which city of Bihar became the main centre of the Wahabi movement against British rule?

Correct answer: (a) Patna

Explanation

In the 19th century Patna was the main centre of the Wahabi movement in India. The movement was led by Syed Ahmad of Rae Bareli and, after his death at Balakot (1831), by leaders in Patna such as Wilayat Ali and Inayat Ali. It sent men and money to the north-west frontier to fight first the Sikhs and then the British. The British broke it in a series of trials in the 1860s and 1870s.
