Q. Consider the following pairs:
  1. Amir Khusru - Parrot of India
  2. Baba Farid - Zinda Pir
  3. Hazar Dinari - Malik Kafur
Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?
Answer: Only 1 and 3
Notes: Amir Khusru was known as Tut-i Hind (Parrot of India). ‘Zinda Pir’ or ‘Living Saint’ referred to Aurangzeb, not Baba Farid. Malik Kafur, bought for 1000 dinars (“Hazar Dinari”), was a general under Alauddin Khilji and earned this title. Therefore, only pairs 1 and 3 are correctly matched.
