Which Rajput ruler was not a contemporary of Akbar?

- b.Amar Singh

Answer: (D) Jaswant Singh
Akbar reigned from 1556 to 1605. Jaswant Singh Rathor of Marwar was born in 1626 and ruled from 1638 to 1678; he served Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb (Battle of Dharmat, 1658) and died at Jamrud. The other three were Akbar's contemporaries: Man Singh of Amber was his general (Haldighati, 1576), Udai Singh of Mewar lost Chittor to Akbar in 1568, and Amar Singh of Mewar succeeded Rana Pratap in 1597 (he made peace with Jahangir in 1615).
