the Mughal dynasty
-
B.

-
C.
the Nehruvian era
-
D.
the role of an Emperor in governing the state.
Correct Answer:
C. the Nehruvian era
Explanation:
The correct answer is the Nehruvian era. Girish Karnad's play 'Tughlaq' is widely regarded as a political allegory that mirrors the socio-political climate of India in the 1960s. It draws a deliberate parallel between the idealistic but ultimately failed reign of the 14th-century Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq and the sense of public disillusionment that followed the high ideals of the Nehruvian era. Just as Tughlaq’s visionary policies led to chaos, the play reflects the contemporary frustration with the gap between political theory and practical governance during that period in modern Indian history.
