UPSC 1999: Which one of the following pairs is correctly matched?
(a)Jahangir : William Hawkins
(b)Akbar : Sir Thomas Roe
(c)Shahjahan : Tavernier
(d)Aurangzeb : Manucci
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Akbar : Sir Thomas Roe
Sir Thomas Roe actually visited the Mughal court of Jahangir (1615-19), not Akbar; thus the pair ‘Akbar : Sir Thomas Roe’ is the one that is NOT correctly matched, which is why the official answer key chooses option (b). The other pairings—Hawkins-Jahangir, Tavernier-Shah Jahan and Manucci-Aurangzeb—are historically accurate.
