Minhaj-i-Siraj, a chronicler used the term "Hindustan" to represent the areas of ______.

Punjab, Haryana and lands between Ganga and Yamuna

The correct answer is Option2- Punjab, Haryana and lands between Ganga and Yamuna

Minhaj-i-Siraj, a chronicler used the term "Hindustan" to represent the areas of Punjab, Haryana and lands between Ganga and Yamuna.

Minhaj-i-Siraj was a 13th-century Persian historian who wrote the Tabaqat-i Nasiri, a chronicle of the Ghurid dynasty and the early Delhi Sultanate. He is considered to be one of the most important sources for the history of this period.

In the Tabaqat-i Nasiri, Minhaj-i-Siraj uses the term "Hindustan" to refer to the region of northern India that was under the control of the Ghurid dynasty and the early Delhi Sultanate. This region included the modern-day states of Punjab, Haryana, and the lands between the Ganges and Yamuna rivers.

It is important to note that the definition of "Hindustan" has changed over time. In the early 13th century, when Minhaj-i-Siraj was writing, it referred to a relatively small region of northern India. However, by the 16th century, the term "Hindustan" was being used to refer to the entire Indian subcontinent.
