Which of the following Indian rulers was defeated by Mahmud Ghazni in his first attack in the year 1001 AD?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
C. JaipalC. जयपाल
Explanationव्याख्या
Jaipal, also written Jayapala, is the correct answer.
The source states that in 1001 AD Mahmud of Ghazni invaded and fought the Hindu Shahi army of Jayapala near Peshawar.
Jayapala was defeated in this battle.
The Hindu Shahi kingdom was an important political power in the north-western region and faced the expanding Ghaznavid state.
After Jayapala, Anandapala became an important Hindu Shahi ruler and also resisted Ghaznavid expansion.
This question is particularly useful when compared with the preceding source question Q146, which refers to Mahmud's 'first attack' as occurring in 1000 AD but gives the same ruler, Jayapala.
Here Q153 specifically gives 1001 AD and again identifies Jaipal.
For examination preparation, the important association is Mahmud of Ghazni → 1001 campaign
battle near Peshawar → Jayapala defeated.
Anandapala belongs to the subsequent phase of Hindu Shahi resistance.
Therefore, option (c), Jaipal, is the correct answer.
सही उत्तर जयपाल है। स्रोत के अनुसार 1001 ईस्वी में Mahmud of Ghazni ने आक्रमण किया और Peshawar के निकट Hindu Shahi ruler Jayapala की सेना से उसका युद्ध हुआ। इस युद्ध में Jayapala पराजित हुआ। Hindu Shahi kingdom उत्तर-पश्चिमी क्षेत्र की महत्वपूर्ण राजनीतिक शक्ति थी और उसे बढ़ती हुई Ghaznavid शक्ति का सामना करना पड़ा। Jayapala के बाद Anandapala महत्वपूर्ण Hindu Shahi ruler बना और उसने भी Ghaznavid विस्तार का विरोध किया। यह प्रश्न पिछले Q146 के साथ पढ़ना उपयोगी है। वहाँ स्रोत ने Mahmud के 'first attack' को 1000 AD बताया था और उत्तर Jayapala दिया था, जबकि वर्तमान Q153 में स्पष्ट रूप से 1001 AD लिखा है और उत्तर फिर Jaipal है। परीक्षा की दृष्टि से महत्वपूर्ण संबंध याद रखें: Mahmud of Ghazni → 1001 campaign/battle near Peshawar → Jayapala defeated। Anandapala बाद के Hindu Shahi resistance से जुड़ा है। अतः विकल्प (c) Jaipal सही है।
