Delhi Sultanate History: Identifying the Exception
The question requires identifying the statement that is factually incorrect among the given options related to the Delhi Sultanate period.
Statement Analysis
- Option 1: The historical text Adab al-Harb wa al-Shaja'a by Fakhri-Muddabir was indeed dedicated to Sultan Iltutmish. This statement is correct.
- Option 2: This statement asserts that Isami disagrees with Minhaj us Siraj regarding the influx of people to Delhi. This specific assertion of disagreement is historically inaccurate. While both chroniclers wrote about Delhi, the prominent historical record does not emphasize a disagreement between Isami and Minhaj us Siraj on the matter of people migrating to Delhi. Therefore, the statement claiming such a disagreement is false, making it the exception.
- Option 3: Minhaj us Siraj, in his chronicle Tabaqat-i-Nasiri, acknowledged Raziya Sultan's competence and suitability for rule, highlighting her qualifications. This statement is correct.
- Option 4: Raziya Sultan's policy of appointing non-Turks to significant administrative and military positions was met with strong opposition and resentment from the Turkish nobility, contributing to conspiracies against her. This statement accurately reflects historical events.
Conclusion
Statements 1, 3, and 4 are historically accurate. Statement 2 presents a false claim about a disagreement between Isami and Minhaj us Siraj. As the question asks for the statement that is incorrect ("except"), Option 2 is the correct answer.
