● Statement 1 is correct: Azamgarh Proclamation was a remarkable document which was published in the town of Azamgarh in Eastern Uttar Pradesh during the Revolt of 1857. This declaration was issued by Firoz Shah, a grandson of the Mughal Emperor who fought in Awadh and aimed to set out a manifesto for what the rebels were fighting for. It was to ensure unity among the rebels. ● Statement 2 is correct: This Proclamation, also called ishtihar, was secular and largely democratic in tone, appealing to both Hindus and Muslims who were being ruined under the tyranny and oppression of the infidel and treacherous English. ● Statement 3 is correct: The proclamation that was issued under the name of Bahadur Shah, appealed to the people to join the fight under the standards of both Muhammad and Mahavir.
