‘Tajul-Masir’ gives details about ______________.
A.Beginning of Slave Dynasty in India
B.Beginning of Bhakti Movement
C.Beginning of Revolt of 1857
D.Battles of Panipat

Answer 1

Hint:t Let's discuss ‘Tajul-Masir’ Thus, the Tajul Masir was written by Hasan Nizami by Qutubuddin Aibak and the Iltutmish of the Slave Empire. This is a historical account and many scholars believe that this is the first work that discusses the beginning of the slave dynasty in the history of Indian politics.

Complete answer:
Reportedly, Hasan Nizami began writing history at the behest of Sultan Qutbuddin Aibak. He begins his book with the battle of Tarain which was the most important event in the history of the continent. It covers the upcoming period of the acquisition of funds by Sultan Shamsuddin Iltutmish in 1229 AD from the Caliph of Baghdad. The author deals with the constructive period of the Delhi Sultanate; writes history in the period when the Sultanate passed away from its senseless state and became a powerful imperial empire. He wrote to write the history of the conquest of Muizzuddin Muhammad bin Sam and Qutbuddin Aibak, but after the sudden death of Aibak, he decided to continue his narrative until the Sultanate was merged by the Iltutmish. But Hasan Nizami is not referring to Bakhtayar Khilji's victory over Bengal, even though the event took place during the lifetime of Sultan Qutbuddin Aibak.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note:Tajul Maasir is said to be the first official historian of the Delhi Sultanate. Written in Persian by Sadruddin Hasan Nizami, it is the first in a number of history books produced in India. Details of Hasan Nizam's life and work are not available. According to one account he was the son of Nizami Aruzi Samarqandi, the author of Chahar Maqala; the family belonged to the Ghurs and favored the Ghurid rulers.
