Question

Udai Singh was the ruler of ________ .
a.Bijapur
b.Golkonda
c.Mewar
d.Malwa

Answer 1

Hint: Udai Singh was the Predecessor of Chandrasen Rathore and successor of Udai Singh was Sur Singh. He was the son of Rana Khumba.

Complete Step by Step answer: Udai Singh was a very famous and eminent ruler of Mewar. He was a Sisodia Rajput. Udai Singh Rathore was born on 13 January 1538. He died on 10 July 1595. He was also known by a rather funny name “Mota Raja” which literally means the fat king. Marwar was later known as Jodhpur. Present-day Jodhpur is in the state of Rajasthan, India.

Looking at the options given:
Option a- Bijapur is in Karnataka. Hence this is an incorrect option.
Option b- Golkonda is in Telangana. And by the surname ‘Singh’, likely, he didn’t rule in the southern part of India. Hence it's not the right option.
Option c- Mewar is in Rajasthan. This is the correct answer.
Option d- Malwa is the doab region of west-central India. This is incorrect.

Hence, Option “c” is the correct answer.

Note: Rajasthan is the largest state(area-wise). It is also home to the largest desert of India- ‘Thar desert’. Other famous rulers of Rajasthan were Maharana Pratap, Hem Chandra Vikramaditya, Rana Khumba, Suraj mal etc.
