Who is the author of the book ‘Tarikh-i Dilkusha'?

Bhimsen

The correct answer is Option 2- Bhimsen

The author of the book Tarikh-i Dilkusha is Bhimsen. He was a soldier and news-writer for Aurangzeb's campaigns into the Deccan. He wrote the book in 1707, shortly after Aurangzeb's death. The book is a memoir of Aurangzeb's life and reign.

Tarikh-i Dilkusha' translates to "History of Heart's Delight." However, it's not a general history but a memoir focusing on the life and times of Aurangzeb. Bhimsen's close association with the emperor's military endeavors offered him a unique perspective on Aurangzeb's personality, leadership style, and decision-making processes.

The other options are all incorrect. Panini was a Sanskrit grammarian who lived in the 5th century BCE. Sushruta and Charaka were physicians who lived in the 6th century CE.
