Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. Malik KafurA. मलिक काफूर
Explanationव्याख्या
The printed answer is Malik Kafur.
The source states that the Chola Empire was invaded by Malik Kafur in the early 14th century AD.
Malik Kafur was a prominent military commander of Alauddin Khalji and played a major role in the Sultanate's campaigns into the Deccan and further south.
The source also states that he had been captured by Alauddin's general Nusrat Khan during the 1299 invasion of Gujarat and subsequently rose to prominence in the early 1300s.
Under Alauddin Khalji, campaigns led by Malik Kafur extended Delhi Sultanate influence into important southern kingdoms.
For examinations, Malik Kafur is especially associated with Alauddin Khalji's Deccan and South Indian expeditions.
Taimur's famous invasion of Delhi occurred much later in 1398.
Muhammad Ghori belongs mainly to the late 12th-century phase of conquest, while Genghis Khan did not conduct this early-14th-century campaign against the Chola realm.
Therefore, within the source's framing, option (a), Malik Kafur, is correct.
मुद्रित सही उत्तर Malik Kafur है। स्रोत के अनुसार 14वीं शताब्दी के प्रारंभ में Chola Empire पर Malik Kafur ने आक्रमण किया। Malik Kafur Alauddin Khalji का प्रमुख military commander था और उसने Deccan तथा दक्षिण भारत की ओर किए गए Sultanate campaigns में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई। स्रोत यह भी बताता है कि 1299 में Gujarat invasion के दौरान Alauddin के general Nusrat Khan ने उसे पकड़ा था और इसके बाद 1300 के दशक में उसका महत्व तेजी से बढ़ा। Alauddin Khalji के शासनकाल में Malik Kafur के नेतृत्व में किए गए अभियानों ने Delhi Sultanate के प्रभाव को दक्षिण के कई महत्वपूर्ण राज्यों तक पहुँचाया। परीक्षा के लिए Malik Kafur को Alauddin Khalji तथा Deccan/South Indian campaigns के साथ जोड़कर याद रखें। Taimur का Delhi invasion बहुत बाद में 1398 में हुआ। Muhammad Ghori मुख्यतः 12वीं शताब्दी के उत्तरार्ध से संबंधित है और Genghis Khan इस अभियान से संबंधित नहीं था। अतः स्रोत के अनुसार विकल्प (a), Malik Kafur, सही है।
