Why the Deccani schools of painting were not recognised as distinct schools by art historians?

Question

Option 1: The schools did not have unique features and largely drew from Middle Eastern, Safavid, Persian, Turkish and Mughal styles and traditions of painting.

Option 2: The kingdoms of Bijapur, Golconda and Ahmadnagar were seen as independent kingdoms, and not a coherent whole like the Mughal empire.

Option 3: The definition of a distinct school of painting was restricted to schools that flourished under a class of rulers, who had their peculiar political and cultural vision and commissioned works that enhanced the specific requirements of governance in their kingdoms.

Option 4: Schools were defined by their use of dense compositions and regional aesthetics, which was not found in the Deccani schools of miniature painting.
