{'medieval india': [0, 0, 1, 3], 'paragana': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'sarkar': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'order': [6, 12, 34, 35], 'suba': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'terms': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct sequence in ascending order in terms of size during medieval India is Paragana - Sarkar - Suba.

A Paragana was a small administrative unit during the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire. It was generally composed of several villages and was headed by a headman or a revenue officer.

A Sarkar was a larger administrative unit, consisting of several paraganas. The term sarkar was used during the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire, and it was headed by a governor.

A Suba was the largest administrative unit during the Mughal Empire. It was a province that consisted of several sarkars and was headed by a governor known as Subedar or Nazim.

Therefore, the correct sequence in ascending order in terms of size during medieval India is Paragana - Sarkar - Suba.
