A.

Gondwana

B.

Gujarat

C.

Asirgarh

D.

More than one of the above

E.

None of the above

Correct option is C

Correct Answer: (C) Asirgarh
Explanation
→ The siege of the fortress of Asirgarh in the Khandesh region is historically recognized as the final military conquest of the Mughal Emperor Akbar.

→ This victory took place in 1601, just a few years before his death in 1605.
→ The fort was considered nearly impregnable, and its fall marked the complete submission of the Khandesh region to Mughal authority.
→ It was a strategic victory that secured the gateway to the Deccan for the Mughal Empire.
Information Booster

→ The Asirgarh campaign lasted for about six months before the fort was surrendered.
→ Akbar reportedly used golden keys (symbolic or literal bribery) to open the gates of the fort after a long siege.
→ The victory led to the annexation of Khandesh, which Akbar renamed 'Dandesh' in honor of his son Daniyal.
→ This occurred during his Deccan Policy phase.
→ Following this victory, Akbar returned to Agra to deal with the rebellion of his son, Prince Salim.
Additional Information
Option (A) Gondwana: The conquest of Gondwana occurred much earlier in his reign (1564), famous for the resistance of Rani Durgavati.
Option (B) Gujarat: Akbar conquered Gujarat in 1572-73, a victory he commemorated by building the Buland Darwaza at Fatehpur Sikri.
