Explanationव्याख्या
Amir Khosrow is the correct answer.
He is popularly known by the title 'Tuti-e-Hind' or 'Parrot of India'.
Amir Khosrow was an influential Persian-language poet, musician, scholar and literary personality associated with the Delhi Sultanate.
He lived across the reigns of several rulers and had close connections with the cultural environment of the Sultanate courts.
He was also a disciple of the celebrated Chishti Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya.
His literary output included poetry, historical narratives and works reflecting the Indo-Persian cultural world.
The source describes him as a Sufi poet, musician and scholar and notes his service in the royal courts of different kings and sultans.
Students should distinguish him from Ziauddin Barani, an important historian of the Delhi Sultanate, Ibn Battuta, the Moroccan traveller who visited India during Muhammad bin Tughlaq's reign, and Tansen, the famous musician associated with Akbar's court.
The direct examination pair is: Amir Khosrow → Tuti-e-Hind → Parrot of India.
Hence option (c) is correct.
सही उत्तर अमीर खुसरो है। उन्हें लोकप्रिय रूप से ‘Tuti-e-Hind’ अर्थात ‘भारत का तोता’ कहा जाता है। Amir Khosrow Delhi Sultanate के सांस्कृतिक इतिहास से जुड़े अत्यंत प्रभावशाली फारसी भाषा के कवि, संगीतज्ञ, विद्वान और साहित्यकार थे। उन्होंने कई सुल्तानों के शासनकाल को देखा और विभिन्न शाही दरबारों से उनका संबंध रहा। वे प्रसिद्ध Chishti Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya के शिष्य भी थे। उनकी साहित्यिक रचनाओं में कविता, ऐतिहासिक वृत्तांत और Indo-Persian सांस्कृतिक संसार को दर्शाने वाली सामग्री शामिल है। स्रोत उन्हें Sufi poet, musician और scholar बताता है तथा विभिन्न kings और sultans के royal courts में कार्य करने का उल्लेख करता है। अन्य विकल्पों से अंतर भी याद रखें: Ziauddin Barani → Delhi Sultanate historian; Ibn Battuta → Moroccan traveller who visited during Muhammad bin Tughlaq; Tansen → Akbar के दरबार से जुड़ा प्रसिद्ध संगीतज्ञ। परीक्षा के लिए सीधी जोड़ी है: Amir Khosrow → Tuti-e-Hind → Parrot of India। अतः विकल्प (c) सही है।
