Medieval India: Kings and Chronicles

Question:

Which of the following is NOT a title of Mughal Chronicle?

Options:

Akbar Nama

Alamgir Nama

Aurangzeb Nama

Shahjahan Nama

Correct Answer:

Aurangzeb Nama

Explanation:

The authors of Mughal chronicles were invariably courtiers. The histories they wrote focused on events centred on the ruler, his family, the court and nobles, wars and administrative arrangements. Their titles, such as the Akbar Nama, Shahjahan Nama, Alamgir Nama, that is, the story of Akbar, Shah Jahan and Alamgir (a title of the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb), suggest that in the eyes of their authors the history of the empire and the court was synonymous with that of the emperor.
