DAligarh | Charter of 1600
Correct Answer: Deoband (UP) | Charter of 1600Your Answer: B

Explanation

This paired question tests two independent historical relationships and requires both to be correct in the stated order. Darul Uloom Deoband was founded in 1867 in Deoband in Uttar Pradesh by Maulana Muhammad Qasim Nanautawi and Maulana Rashid Ahmad Gangohi. The Deobandi school of thought emphasized traditional Islamic education as a response to British colonial rule. The Deobandis were generally anti-British while the Aligarh movement was pro-British. Here Deoband (UP) fits the complete historical coordinates supplied by “The famous Deoband School of Islamic thought (Darul Uloom Deoband) was founded in 1867 in which city?”—the relevant actor, moment and outcome must all agree. This development forms part of the changing national movement, in which For statement two, the supported answer is Charter of 1600. The East India Company was given monopoly of trade with India through the Charter of 1600 granted by Queen Elizabeth I on 31 December 1600. This gave the Company exclusive rights to trade with India and Asia. The monopoly was abolished for Indian trade by the Charter Act of 1813 and for China trade by the Charter Act of 1833. Chronology resolves the item: Charter of 1600 occupies the position required by “The East India Company was given monopoly of trade with India through which early charter?”, while a merely famous contemporary name would not Therefore the correct ordered pair is Deoband (UP) followed by Charter of 1600. An option containing only one correct component must be rejected because the stem asks for a complete two-part match.

Important Notes

  • The first verified component is Deoband (UP).
  • The second verified component is Charter of 1600.
  • The ordered answer is Deoband (UP) followed by Charter of 1600.
  • Any pair omitting Deoband (UP) or Charter of 1600 is incomplete.
  • Revise Deoband (UP) and Charter of 1600 from both cited references.
