Who invaded India during the rule of Tughlaq Dynasty?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Timur.
Timur (Tamerlane): In 1398, during the rule of the Tughlaq dynasty, Timur invaded India and sacked Delhi. This invasion marked a significant and devastating event during that period.
Why Not the Other Options:
- Mahmud of Ghazni: Invaded India in the 11th century, long before the Tughlaq dynasty.
- Chengiz Khan: Although he led vast invasions, he did not invade India during the Tughlaq period.
- Muhammad Ghori: His invasions occurred in the late 12th century, again before the Tughlaq dynasty came to power.
Thus, Timur is the correct answer.
