Question

State whether true or false.

Mumtaz Mahal became the virtual ruler of the Mughal empire.

Answer 1

This statement is false.

Explanation:

Mumtaz Mahal did not become a virtual ruler. Mumtaz Mahal was Shah Jahan’s beloved wife and died in 1631; she never ruled. The influential imperial wife who effectively governed was Nur Jahan (Jahangir’s queen). Mumtaz’s memory is famous chiefly for the Taj Mahal, which Shah Jahan built in her honour.
