Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. BandganB. बंदगान
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Bandgan.
The source states that during the reign of Iltutmish, special slaves were purchased for military service and were called Bandagan.
The term is associated with the institution of military slaves that played an important role in the early Delhi Sultanate.
Such individuals could receive specialised training and, depending on their position and the confidence of the ruler, could rise to significant military or administrative offices.
The Slave or Mamluk dynasty itself included rulers whose careers had developed through this broader military-slave system.
Iltutmish strengthened the Sultanate and relied upon trusted personnel in administration and military affairs.
The other terms have different meanings in the Sultanate context.
An Iqtadar was associated with the administration of an iqta or revenue assignment, and 'Muqti' was another term used for such an official in relevant contexts. 'Samanta' belongs to a different political-administrative vocabulary.
For this question, the direct association is: Iltutmish → slaves purchased for military service → Bandagan.
Hence option (b) is correct.
सही उत्तर Bandgan अर्थात Bandagan है। स्रोत के अनुसार Iltutmish के शासनकाल में विशेष slaves को military services के लिए खरीदा जाता था और उन्हें Bandagan कहा जाता था। यह शब्द early Delhi Sultanate में महत्वपूर्ण military-slave institution से संबंधित है। ऐसे व्यक्तियों को विशेष प्रशिक्षण दिया जा सकता था और Sultan का विश्वास प्राप्त होने पर वे महत्वपूर्ण military तथा administrative पदों तक पहुँच सकते थे। Slave अथवा Mamluk dynasty के इतिहास में भी military-slave system का विशेष महत्व था। Iltutmish ने Sultanate को मजबूत किया और प्रशासन तथा सेना में विश्वसनीय व्यक्तियों पर निर्भर रहा। अन्य विकल्प अलग administrative concepts से संबंधित हैं। Iqtadar उस अधिकारी से जुड़ा था जो iqta अथवा revenue assignment का प्रशासन करता था और कुछ संदर्भों में Muqti शब्द भी ऐसे अधिकारी के लिए प्रयुक्त होता था। Samanta अलग राजनीतिक-प्रशासनिक परंपरा का शब्द है। इस प्रश्न के लिए सीधा संबंध याद रखें: Iltutmish → military service के लिए खरीदे गए slaves → Bandagan। अतः विकल्प (b) सही है।
