UPSC 2000: Which one of the following Muslim rulers was hailed as the ‘Jagadguru’ by his Muslim subjects because of his belief in secularism?

(b)Zain-ul-Abidin
(c)Ibrahim Adil Shah

Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Ibrahim Adil Shah
Ibrahim Adil Shah II of Bijapur (1580-1627) composed the syncretic work ‘Kitab-i-Navras’, worshipped Saraswati, and patronised both Hindu and Muslim arts; his tolerant policies earned him the epithet ‘Jagadguru’ (world teacher) from his Muslim as well as Hindu subjects. The Bengal ruler Husain Shah and Kashmir’s Zain-ul-Abidin were also liberal but were never called ‘Jagadguru’, while Mahmud II was an Ottoman sultan unrelated to India.
