(D) Nizamuddin Auliya in Delhi
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Data Ganj Bakhsh, or Al-Hujwiri, preached in Lahore in the eleventh century, so he comes first.
Nizamuddin Auliya, the Chishti saint of Delhi, belongs to the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries.
Tukaram of Maharashtra and Miyan Mir of Punjab are both figures of the Mughal period, placed last in that order.
Note: Miyan Mir (died 1635) and Tukaram (1608-1650) overlap in time, so the last two positions are open to argument; we follow the sequence offered in option (3).
