Q. The Muslim ruler who conquered the kingdom of Bundelkhand in 1203 A.D?

(a) Muhammad Ghazni

(b) Muhammad Bin Quasim

(d) Iltutmish

Ans: (c) Qutb-ud-din Aibak

Explanation: The correct answer is (c) Qutb-ud-din Aibak. Qutb-ud-din Aibak was a prominent Muslim ruler and the founder of the Delhi Sultanate in India. In 1203 A.D., he conquered the kingdom of Bundelkhand, which was ruled by the Chandela dynasty. This conquest was a significant expansion of the Delhi Sultanate’s territory and marked the beginning of Muslim rule in the region. Muhammad Ghazni and Muhammad bin Qasim were earlier Muslim rulers who were associated with invasions in different parts of the Indian subcontinent, but they were not directly responsible for the conquest of Bundelkhand. Iltutmish, another ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, succeeded Qutb-ud-din Aibak but did not conquer Bundelkhand.
