Who wrote the history of Aurangzeb’s reign in total secrecy because of the emperor’s opposition to it and what was the name of that historical work?

Khafi Khan's Muntakhab-ul-Lubab
Mirza Muhammad Kazim's Alamgir Nama
Muhammad Saqi's Masir-i-Alamgiri
Aquil Khan Razi's Zafar Nama-i-Alamgir

The correct answer is: A. Khafi Khan’s Muntakhab-ul-Lubab.

Khafi Khan was a Mughal historian who wrote the history of Aurangzeb’s reign in total secrecy because of the emperor’s opposition to it. His work, the Muntakhab-ul-Lubab, is a valuable source of information on the Mughal Empire during Aurangzeb’s reign.

Mirza Muhammad Kazim’s Alamgir Nama is another important source of information on Aurangzeb’s reign. However, it was not written in total secrecy, as Khafi Khan’s Muntakhab-ul-Lubab was.

Muhammad Saqi’s Masir-i-Alamgiri is a shorter work than Khafi Khan’s Muntakhab-ul-Lubab or Mirza Muhammad Kazim’s Alamgir Nama. It is also less detailed than these two works.

Aquil Khan Razi’s Zafar Nama-i-Alamgir is a work of poetry, not history. It is not a reliable source of information on Aurangzeb’s reign.

In conclusion, the correct answer is: A. Khafi Khan’s Muntakhab-ul-Lubab.
