Q. Consider the following:
  1. Akbarnama
  2. Ain-i Akbari
  3. Baburnama
Which of the above works provides a detailed account of the Mughal court and administration?

Answer: Only 1 and 2
Notes: 1. Akbarnama: Emperor Akbar commissioned this work, chronicling his reign and the history of the Mughal court, with a focus on cultural and political aspects. 2. Ain-i Akbari: This is an appendix to the Akbarnama. It provides pivotal details on the administrative, financial, and social structures of Akbar's government and serves as a vital historical document. 3. Baburnama: This work, written by Babur, offers insights into his personal life and the early stages of the Mughal Empire but does not concentrate on court and administrative details like the other two texts.
