Which religious teacher was present in the subcontinent during c. 1500-1600?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Sri Chaitanya
The timeline of major religious teachers of the subcontinent places Sri Chaitanya in Bengal in c. 1500-1600, along with Mirabai in Rajasthan and Tulsidas in Uttar Pradesh. The same timeline puts Andal in c. 800-900 (Tamil Nadu), Ramananda in c. 1300-1400 (Uttar Pradesh) and Miyan Mir in c. 1600-1700 (the Punjab). These time frames show the approximate period in which each teacher lived.
