UPSC 1999: To which Lodi Sultan does the given map relate and what town does the site marked A on the map represent?
(a)Behlol Lodi, Jaunpur
(b)Sikandar Lodi, Aligarh
(c)Ibrahim Lodi, Jaunpur
(d)Ibrahim Lodi, Aligarh
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) Behlol Lodi, Jaunpur
The map shows the Lodi Sultanate after Bahlol Lodi’s eastern campaigns; the site ‘A’ is at the Ganga–Gomti confluence, identifying Jaunpur, which Bahlol captured from the Sharqi rulers in 1486. Sikandar and Ibrahim Lodi ruled later, but the territorial outline and conquest of Jaunpur are specifically associated with Bahlol Lodi. Hence option (a) is correct.
