It would be *impossible* to run Windows 3.1 or 95 on an iPad.

Why?

Because an iPad uses an ARM/RISC architecture CPU. Windows 3.1 and 95 
have binaries meant for a x86/CISC architecture CPU. Whatever you saw on 
the internet was faked.

That being said, running a different OS on the device is unlikely unless 
the flashing tools are reverse engineered. I would have little interest 
in it anyway as the device is overpriced. Typical of a Mac product.

You're better off buying a tablet laptop and installing Fedora on that.
