Q8
History of IndiaMughal Empire
Which Mughal ruler took the title of Alamgir?
  1. a.Akbar
  2. b.Jahangir
  3. c.Shah Jahan
  4. d.Aurangzeb

Answer: (D) Aurangzeb

Aurangzeb took the title Alamgir (‘conqueror of the world’) on his accession in 1658. Jahangir's own name means ‘conqueror of the world’ too, which makes it the tempting option, but the title Alamgir belongs to Aurangzeb.
