Question

“I have sold my kingdom to my beloved for a cup of wine and a dish of soup.” Who among the following Mughal rulers had said it?

A.

Jahangir

B.

Babar

C.

Humayun

D.

Akbar

Correct option is C

This famous line, “I have sold my kingdom to my beloved for a cup of wine and a dish of soup,” was said by Humayun, the second Mughal Emperor. The statement reflects an incident when Humayun, during his reign, was involved in a love affair with his wife, Hamida Banu Begum. His indulgence and carelessness at critical moments of his reign, particularly in battles, led to the loss of his kingdom to Sher Shah Suri. The line symbolizes how he prioritized personal indulgences over the affairs of the state, which led to his temporary downfall and exile.
