[#518] Dev rulers for 200 years served as Mansabdars of Jammu under which empire?
Correct Answer

(C) Mughal

Explanation

Solution: The Dev rulers served as Mansabdars of Jammu for 200 years under the Mughal Empire . The Mughal Empire, which ruled large parts of the Indian subcontinent from the 16th to the 18th century, had an administrative system that included officials known as Mansabdars. These officials were responsible for military and administrative duties and were given land grants and responsibilities based on their ranks. The Dev rulers, who were a prominent and influential family in the region, were appointed as Mansabdars during this period. Their service was significant in maintaining the governance and stability of the Jammu region under the Mughal administration. The Mughal rulers relied on local leaders like the Dev rulers to manage and oversee the administration of different regions effectively. Other options are not correct for the following reasons: Option A: Tughlaq – The Tughlaq dynasty was primarily influential in the 14th century and did not have direct control over the Jammu region as Mansabdars. Option B: Lodhi – The Lodhi dynasty ruled in the early 16th century, but their control was not related to the Dev rulers serving as Mansabdars in Jammu. Option D: Dogra – The Dogra dynasty emerged later and ruled the region in the 19th and early 20th centuries. They were not the ruling empire during the 200-year period when the Dev rulers were Mansabdars. Therefore, the correct answer is: Option C: Mughal
