Tughril Beg
The question asks us to identify who revolted against Balban, the Sultan of Delhi, and declared himself as an independent ruler of Bengal in 1279. Let us analyze the given options to find the correct answer:
- Muhammad Khan: There is no significant historical record of a person named Muhammad Khan revolting against Balban and declaring independence in Bengal in 1279.
- Tughril Beg: He was a governor under Sultan Iltutmish and Sultan Balban, who did rebel against Balban, but this occurred earlier and not specifically in 1279.
- Bughra Khan: He was the son of Balban and was appointed as the governor of Bengal by Balban himself. In 1279, Bughra Khan declared independence from the Delhi Sultanate and established his rule in Bengal.
- Nasir-ud-din Mahmud: He was another son of Balban. His name does not appear connected to the rebellion in Bengal during this period.
Based on the above explanation and historical records, the correct answer to the question is Bughra Khan. He revolted against the authority of his father, Sultan Balban, and successfully declared himself as the ruler of Bengal in 1279.
