Which Mughal Chronicle describes the irrigation devices in Northern India? |
Akbar Nama Babur Nama Ain-i Akbari Humayun Nama |
Babur Nama |
The correct answer is Option (2) → Babur Nama " This is an excerpt from the Babur Nama that describes the irrigation devices the emperor observed in northern India: The greater part of Hindustan country is situated on level land. Many though its towns and cultivated lands are, it nowhere has running waters … For … water is not at all a necessity in cultivating crops and orchards. Autumn crops grow by the downpour of the rains themselves; and strange it is that spring crops grow even when no rains fall. (However) to young trees water is made to flow by means of buckets or wheels " |
