The aristocrat Muqarrab khan was a great favourite of which Mughal Emperor?
Farrukhsiyar
Incorrect AnswerShah Alam
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Physicians did not lack recognition in the Mughal Empire, and their names are often listed in Mughal histories along with those of the learned and men of letters of the time. In spite of this they were not regarded as part of the Mughal ruling aristocracy. It was therefore remarkable that Muqarrab Khan, a surgeon and physician, who was known for his skill in treating elephants as much as for treating men, should have attained the high mansab of 5,000 zat and 5,000 sawdr, and been appointed governor of three provinces during Jahanglr's reign.
