Medieval India: Kings and Chronicles

Question:

Which chronicle was gifted by Nawab of Awadh to King George III in 1799.

Options:

Akbarnama

Shahjahan Nama

Badshah Nama

Alamgir Nama

Correct Answer:

Badshah Nama

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Badshah Nama 

The reason the Nawab of Awadh, Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula, gifted the "Badshah Nama" to King George III in 1799 was part of diplomatic relations and alliances during the British colonial period in India. It was a significant gift, and such exchanges were not uncommon during this period. The "Badshah Nama" is a historical chronicle that provides insights into the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's reign, and the gift was a gesture of goodwill and diplomatic relations between the Nawab of Awadh and the British authorities. This exchange of valuable historical texts was a part of the broader political and diplomatic landscape of the time.

So, the correct option is [3].
