Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. Muhammad GhoriD. मुहम्मद गोरी
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Muhammad Ghori.
Queen Naikidevi is associated with the defeat of Muhammad Ghori's invading forces in Gujarat in 1178 CE.
She was connected with the Chaulukya, also known as the Solanki, ruling house of Gujarat and acted during the minority of the young ruler Mularaja II.
Muhammad Ghori had already advanced into the north-western parts of the subcontinent and attempted to enter Gujarat, but his forces were defeated.
This setback is important because it temporarily checked his expansion through the Gujarat route.
Ghori subsequently concentrated more heavily on routes through Punjab and northern India.
His later military career included the Battles of Tarain against Prithviraj Chauhan in 1191 and 1192.
Thus the chronology is useful: 1178 → defeat in Gujarat associated with Naikidevi; 1191 → defeat by Prithviraj at First Tarain; 1192 → victory at Second Tarain.
Among the options, Muhammad bin Tughlaq belonged to a much later period of the Delhi Sultanate, making him chronologically impossible.
Therefore, Muhammad Ghori is the correct answer.
सही उत्तर Muhammad Ghori है। Queen Naikidevi को 1178 ईस्वी में गुजरात की ओर बढ़ी Muhammad Ghori की सेना को पराजित करने से जोड़ा जाता है। उनका संबंध Gujarat के Chaulukya अथवा Solanki ruling house से था और उन्होंने अल्पवयस्क शासक Mularaja II के समय महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई। Muhammad Ghori उत्तर-पश्चिमी क्षेत्रों की ओर बढ़ने के बाद Gujarat में प्रवेश करना चाहता था, लेकिन उसकी सेना को पराजय मिली। इस हार ने Gujarat मार्ग से उसके विस्तार को कुछ समय के लिए रोक दिया। इसके बाद Ghori ने Punjab और उत्तर भारत की दिशा में अधिक ध्यान दिया। बाद में उसका संघर्ष Prithviraj Chauhan से हुआ, जिसमें 1191 का First Battle of Tarain और 1192 का Second Battle of Tarain शामिल हैं। परीक्षा के लिए chronology याद रखें: 1178 → Gujarat में Naikidevi से संबंधित पराजय; 1191 → Prithviraj से प्रथम Tarain में हार; 1192 → Second Tarain में विजय। Muhammad bin Tughlaq बहुत बाद के Delhi Sultanate काल का शासक था। अतः सही उत्तर Muhammad Ghori है।
