Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq.
The source states that Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq was one of the governors during the reign of Alauddin Khilji and later ruled Delhi between 1320 and 1324.
He founded the Tughlaq dynasty after the end of Khalji rule.
Before becoming Sultan, Ghiyasuddin had served within the Delhi Sultanate's military-administrative structure and became associated with frontier defence.
His rise illustrates an important feature of Sultanate politics: powerful military commanders and provincial officials could sometimes become central political figures when a ruling dynasty weakened.
After the political instability that followed the later Khaljis, Ghiyasuddin established the Tughlaq dynasty in 1320.
He was succeeded by Muhammad bin Tughlaq, one of the most frequently studied rulers of the Delhi Sultanate.
The other options belong to different contexts: Jalal-ud-din founded the Khalji dynasty, Iltutmish was an earlier Slave dynasty ruler, and Nasiruddin Mahmud also belongs to an earlier Sultanate context.
Hence option (c), Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq, is correct.
सही उत्तर Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq है। स्रोत के अनुसार Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq Alauddin Khilji के शासनकाल के दौरान governors में से एक था और बाद में उसने 1320 से 1324 तक Delhi पर शासन किया। Khalji rule के अंत के बाद उसने Tughlaq dynasty की स्थापना की। Sultan बनने से पहले Ghiyasuddin Delhi Sultanate की military-administrative व्यवस्था में कार्य कर चुका था और frontier defence से जुड़ा था। उसका उदय Sultanate politics की एक महत्वपूर्ण विशेषता को दर्शाता है—जब कोई ruling dynasty कमजोर होती थी, तब शक्तिशाली military commanders और provincial officials केंद्रीय सत्ता पर अधिकार कर सकते थे। बाद के Khaljis के समय उत्पन्न राजनीतिक अस्थिरता के बाद Ghiyasuddin ने 1320 में Tughlaq dynasty स्थापित की। उसके बाद Muhammad bin Tughlaq शासक बना, जो Delhi Sultanate के सबसे अधिक चर्चित शासकों में से एक है। Jalal-ud-din Khalji dynasty का संस्थापक था, Iltutmish उससे पहले Slave dynasty का ruler था और Nasiruddin Mahmud भी पहले के Sultanate context से संबंधित था। अतः विकल्प (c) सही है।
