GPSC Class 1-2 2024 · Question 19 of 100

Evaluate the statements. 1. Maratha leaders Damaji Gaekwad and Kadam Bande ruled over the territories of Gujarat, with Gaekwad establishing a strong presence in Baroda. 2. Starting in 1850 AD, the British assumed control of the region, and this dominion continued until India's independence in 1947. 3. The Portuguese made their way to Gujarat and established footholds in areas such as Daman, Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli during their colonial expansion.

History - Gujarat

  3. C1 and 3 are correctCorrect
  4. D1, 2 and 3 all are correct.

Answer: C. 1 and 3 are correct

Explanation

Statements 1 and 3 are correct (Gaekwads in Baroda; Portuguese in Daman, Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli). British control of Gujarat began much earlier than 1850 (early 19th century), so statement 2 is wrong.
