The correct option is Sisodiya Rajputs — Mewar
Explanation
This question tests factual knowledge regarding the matrimonial alliances between the Mughal dynasty and Rajput clans, as well as the geographical association of major Rajput lineages during the medieval period.
Statement-wise Analysis:
- Option (a) is Incorrect. The mother of Jahangir was Mariam-uz-Zamani (also known as Harkha Bai or Jodha Bai). She was the daughter of Raja Bharmal of Amber (Jaipur). The rulers of Amber belonged to the Kachhwaha clan, not the Rathor clan.
- Option (b) is Incorrect. The mother of Shah Jahan was Jagat Gosain (also known as Jodh Bai or Bilqis Makani). She was the daughter of Raja Udai Singh of Marwar (Jodhpur). The rulers of Marwar belonged to the Rathor clan, not the Kachhwaha clan.
- Option (c) is Correct. The Sisodiya clan ruled over the kingdom of Mewar (capital at Chittor and later Udaipur). They are historically noted for their prolonged resistance against Mughal expansion (e.g., Maharana Pratap).
- Option (d) is Incorrect. As mentioned above, Amber was ruled by the Kachhwaha Rajputs. The Rathor Rajputs ruled over Marwar (Jodhpur) and Bikaner.
Key Takeaway:
Jahangir was born to a Kachhwaha princess (Amber), while Shah Jahan was born to a Rathor princess (Marwar). The Sisodiyas were the ruling clan of Mewar.
