Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct. The Azamgarh Proclamation, 25 August 1857 is one of the main sources of our knowledge about what the rebels of the 1857 Revolt wanted. The original document was published in Urdu. However, an English translation published by the British in the Delhi Gazette on 29 September 1857.
Statement 2 is correct. Its main appeal is to economic sentiment, laying out in greats details how the British had ruined each class of citizen-zamindar, merchant, civil servants, soldiers, artisans and even the clergy-and promising them a better deal after the revolution. It is worthwhile to note that the Azamgarh proclamation shows an indigenous modernity, tying together the combatants of North India in a very contemporary struggle for social, economic and political freedom.
Statement 3 is correct. The Azamgarh Proclamation is largely secular and democratic in tone as it appealed to both Hindus and Muslims who were being ruined under the tyranny and oppression of the treacherous and infidel English.
