Q. Consider the following European missions during the Mughal period:
  1. Thomas Roe
  2. Tavernier
  3. Rudolf Acquaviva
The correct chronological order of their visits is (UPSC Prelims 1990)

Answer: 3 — 1 — 2
Notes: Rudolf Acquaviva reached Akbar’s court with the first Jesuit mission in 1580. Thomas Roe arrived in India in 1615 and met Jahangir in 1616. Tavernier’s visits to India began later, in the seventeenth century. Thus the order is 3–1–2.
