Which of the following Mughal monarchs has vividly described Indian flora & fauna, seasons, fruits etc., in his diary? |
| A. | Akbar |
| B. | Shahjahan |
| C. | Babur |
| D. | Aurangzeb |
| Answer» C. Babur | |
|
Explanation: A very notable feature of Mughal times was the development of interest in natural history. Both Babur account of Indian fauna and flora (Baburnama) and Jahangir's investigations in Natural History (Tuzuk-i Jahangiri) are well known. Babur offers his description of fauna of India in a very systematic style. Jahangir's interest in animals, birds and fauna shoeven a greater scientific bent of mind than his great grandfather. He had perhaps greater leisure than Babur had to satisfy his sense of curiosity, but that he had such a sense surely is much to his credit. |
