Q4 (CDS-II/2006) History & Culture › Culture, Literature, Religion & Philosophy › Bhakti, Sufi and Sikh movements Answer Verified

Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The pair Minhaj-us Siraj and 'Founder of Sufi order' is incorrectly matched. Minhaj-us Siraj (Juzjani) was a prominent 13th-century Persian historian and scholar, best known for his work 'Tabaqat-i-Nasiri' (1260), which provides a comprehensive history of the Islamic world and the Delhi Sultanate [c2][t1]. He was not a founder of a Sufi order. In contrast, Sheikh Shihabud-din (Umar al-Suhrawardi) was a famous Sufi saint who systematized the Suhrawardiyya order [t2][t3][t4]. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was a renowned 16th-century Bhakti saint and the proponent of Gaudiya Vaishnavism [t1]. Lalleshwari (Lal Ded) was a 14th-century mystic and Bhakti saint from Kashmir known for her 'vakhs' or verses. Therefore, while options 1, 2, and 4 represent correct historical associations, option 3 incorrectly identifies a historian as a Sufi order founder.
