Jiziya Tax was introduced by which of the following for the first time in India?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option 4- Qutub ud din Aibak
Jizya is a tax levied on non-Muslims residing in a Muslim-ruled territory, based on Islamic law.
Qutub ud din Aibak (1206-1210 AD): Established the Delhi Sultanate and enforced Jizya tax within the Sultanate's territories.
Therefore, although the tax system itself originated from Islamic law, Qutub ud din Aibak is credited with introducing it within the political context of India during the Delhi Sultanate.
