Who among the following was the last Afghan ruler defeated and executed by Mughal ruler?
A. Munaim Khan B. Daud Khan C. Mirza Khan D. Bahadur Shah
Explanation: The Mughal armies under the command of then Khan-i-khanan, Munaim Khan invaded Bengal and, after hard campaigning, Daud was forced to sue for peace. He rose in rebellion soon afterwards. Though the Mughal position in Bengal and Bihar was still weak, the Mughal armies were better organised and led. In a stiff battle in Bihar in 1576, Daud Khan was defeated and executed on the spot. Thus the Mughals ended the last Afghan kingdom in northern India. It also brought to an end the first phase of Akbar’s expansion of the empire.
