The Ain-i Akbari does not mention this crop in the lists of crops in northern India. Identify the crop?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Tobacco
Tobacco arrived first in the Deccan and spread to northern India only in the early seventeenth century, so the Ain does not mention tobacco in the lists of crops in northern India; Akbar and his nobles first came across it in 1604.
