Previous Year Question

Rana Hamir was associated with Mewar. During the 14th century, he re-established and consolidated Sisodia authority in Mewar. Therefore, the matching Rana Hamir — Mewar is correct.

Rana Chunda was associated with Marwar. He was among the early rulers of the Rathore power and is particularly associated with the expansion of Rathore authority over Mandore. Therefore, Rana Chunda — Marwar is also correctly matched.

Malik Raja Farooqi established the Faruqi dynasty in Khandesh. During the latter part of the 14th century, he established his independent authority in Khandesh and laid the foundation of Faruqi rule in the region. Therefore, Malik Raja Farooqi — Khandesh is also correctly matched.

Malik Sarwar Khwaja Jahan was associated not with Malwa but with Jaunpur. During the weakening of the Delhi Sultanate after Firoz Shah Tughlaq, he became powerful in the Jaunpur region.

Around 1394 CE, Malik Sarwar established independent authority at Jaunpur, from which the Sharqi Sultanate subsequently developed. He is therefore regarded as the founder of the Jaunpur Sultanate.

In contrast, the foundation of the independent Sultanate of Malwa was associated with Dilawar Khan Ghori, who established his independence in Malwa as Tughlaq authority weakened.

Hence, Malik Sarwar Khwaja Jahan — Malwa is the incorrectly matched pair; the correct association is Malik Sarwar Khwaja Jahan — Jaunpur.
