2 and 3 only

1 and 3 only

1, 2, and 3

Explanation

🌟 Quick Verification

Direct Answer: The correct answer is 1 and 2 only.
Core Concept: Mughal-Jat Diplomacy during the early 18th century involved granting titles and Mansabs to pacify regional powers, though these were often temporary.

🧠 Concept Blueprint

The Core Entity: Churaman (1695–1721 AD):
- Bahadur Shah's Policy: Following the Battle of Jajau (1707), Bahadur Shah sought to stabilize his rule by co-opting local leaders. He granted Churaman the title of 'Rao Bahadur' and a Mansab of 1500 Zat and 500 Sawar.
- Farrukhsiyar's Policy: Later, Farrukhsiyar attempted to control Churaman by granting him the title of 'Fateh Singh' and toll rights on the royal road from Baramula to Sikandra.
Why Statement 3 is Incorrect: The responsibility of maintaining control over the Delhi-Agra royal road was granted by Bahadur Shah, not Jahandar Shah. During the reign of Jahandar Shah, Churaman actually resumed looting the royal highways.

Mughal Emperor	Key Grant/Title to Churaman	Historical Context
Bahadur Shah	'Rao Bahadur'	Post-Battle of Jajau reconciliation
Farrukhsiyar	'Fateh Singh'	Attempted pacification after highway looting
