Q. Bahadur Shah, the ruler of Gujarat was killed in a conflict with which of the following?
Answer: Portuguese
Notes: In 1536 A.D, Bahadur Shah was killed by the Portuguese on board the ship when making a deal with them. According to Mirat-i-Sikandari, the reason of his assassination was that a paper from him to the kings of the Deccan, inviting them to join him in an alliance against the Portuguese, had fallen into the hands of the Portuguese viceroy. It was followed by the 1538 Siege of Diu which resulted in the permanent occupation of Diu by Portuguese till 1961.
