Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Malik Kafur
The map in the paper traces a march from Delhi through Devagiri and Warangal to Dwarasamudra and finally Madurai—exactly the route taken by Alauddin Khalji’s general Malik Kafur in his 1310-11 southern campaign. Rajendra Chola’s expeditions moved north-east towards the Ganga and overseas to South-East Asia, not along this north-south peninsular axis; Chandragupta II and Harsha campaigned mainly in northern India.
