ONLiNE UPSC · Accepted Answer

Row 1 is not correct: The Battle of Chandawar (1194) was fought between Jaichand of the Gahadavala dynasty and Muhammad Ghori, not Mahmud of Ghazni. Mahmud of Ghazni had invaded India much earlier in the 11th century, whereas this battle occurred in the late 12th century.

Row 2 is correct: The Second Battle of Tarain (1192) was fought between Prithviraj Chauhan and Muhammad Ghori. It resulted in Prithviraj's defeat and marked a significant step in the establishment of Muslim rule in North India.

Row 3 is correct: The Battle of Khanwa (1527) was fought between Rana Sanga of Mewar and Babur. Babur&rsquo;s victory in this battle solidified Mughal power in India.
