Hint: 1)He was known by the title Padshahzada-i-Buzurg Martaba.
2)He was a liberal Muslim who translated many Hindu texts into Persian.
3)He was supposed to be Shah Jahan's heir as he was his favourite child.

Complete answer:
Dara shikoh was brought into the world in 1615 AD. Was destined to Shah Jahan's adored spouse Mumtaz Mahal. Dara Shikoh was extremely impacted by the Sadiyas' Kadiri convention.

The renowned Sultan Mullashah of Kadiri Sasi was his profound educator. Lanepaul considered Dara a little Akbar. This is the oldest child of Shah Jahan and the senior sibling of Aurangzeb.

Dara was made the crown ruler in 1633 and he was given a high mansab. Allahabad in 1645, Lahore in 1647 and 1649 he turned into the leader of Gujarat.

Dara was crushed and later murdered by his more youthful sibling Aurangzeb in a severe battle for the seat. In the previous few years, endeavors have been made to carry him to the frontal area as a common symbol who learned Sanskrit language and contemplated Vedas and Upanishads.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C)

Note: Dara Shikoh himself deciphered the Sanskrit messages – Bhagwat Geeta and Yogavashishtha into Persian under his oversight.

The main work of Dara – a gathering of the Vedas is that he believed the Vedas to be God's creation.

Even though some no-nonsense Muslims thought of him as a devotee, Dara didn't leave the territory of Islam. The primary explanation behind his being a backslider was the propensity of his all-religion-mix to fear the vacancy of Islam's position.
