Q53 (IAS/1999) History & Culture › Medieval India › Medieval regional kingdoms Answer Verified

To which Lodi Sultan does the given map relate and what town does the site marked A on the map represent ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The map pertains to Bahlul (Behlol) Lodi because his reign is historically noted for the conquest and annexation of the Jaunpur (Sharqi) kingdom — a defining achievement that expanded Lodi control in the eastern Doab and strengthened the nascent dynasty’s territorial base. Textual summaries of Lodi origins also record that Bahlul Lodi established the dynasty and undertook campaigns against Jaunpur’s Sharqi rulers to consolidate power [1]. Scholarly treatments of Lodi–Sharqi conflict further emphasise prolonged military struggle between Delhi’s Lodis and the Jaunpur Sharqis, reinforcing identification of site A as Jaunpur on such map questions [1]. Thus the correct pairing is Behlol (Bahlul) Lodi — Jaunpur.
