Bhakta Tukaram was a contemporary of which Mugal Emperor?
- ABabar
- BAkbar
- CJahangirCorrect
- DAurangzeb
Explanation
The correct answer is C because of the overlapping timelines of Bhakta Tukaram and Emperor Jahangir.
Bhakta Tukaram was a prominent Varkari saint and poet from Maharashtra who lived during the first half of the 17th century, roughly from 1608 to 1649. Emperor Jahangir ruled the Mughal Empire from 1605 to 1627, making them contemporaries for a significant period.
Tukaram was also a contemporary of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who ruled from 1628 to 1658. However, among the given options, Jahangir is the correct historical match. He lived well after the eras of Babur and Akbar and died before Aurangzeb ascended the throne.
