Detailed Solution for Satish Chandra Test: The Mughal Empire- 3 - Question 23

(I) She was killed while fighting the Mughals.

  • This statement is incorrect. Chand Bibi was not killed while fighting the Mughals but was actually killed by her own troops who mutinied, suspecting her of treachery during the siege of Ahmadnagar by the Mughal forces.

(II) She was a Bijapuri ruler’s widow.

  • This statement is correct. Chand Bibi was the widow of Ali Adil Shah I, the Sultan of Bijapur. After his death, she played a significant political role in the region.

(III) She ruled Ahmadnagar on behalf of a nephew called Bahadur.

  • This statement is correct. Chand Bibi ruled Ahmadnagar as a regent for her nephew, Bahadur Shah of Ahmadnagar, during periods of political instability.

(IV) She concluded a treaty with Akbar whereby Mughal suzerainty was recognised.

  • This statement is incorrect. While Chand Bibi did defend Ahmadnagar against the Mughal forces, she did not conclude any treaty recognizing Mughal suzerainty. The resistance continued, and the city eventually fell to the Mughals after her death.

Given these clarifications, the correct statements about Chand Bibi are II (she was a Bijapuri ruler’s widow) and III (she ruled Ahmadnagar on behalf of a nephew called Bahadur).

Thus, the correct answer is: 2. Only II and III - These statements accurately reflect the historical facts regarding Chand Bibi's life and role in the Deccan sultanates.
