The correct answer is: B. Tughlaqs
The Tughlaq dynasty was a Muslim dynasty that ruled over the Delhi Sultanate from 1320 to 1414. The Tughlaqs were known for their military prowess and their ambitious building projects. However, they were also known for their harsh rule and their neglect of the arts.
Under the Tughlaqs, the painting art declined in Haryana. This was due to a number of factors, including the Tughlaqs’ lack of interest in the arts, the destruction of many art works during the Tughlaqs’ wars, and the migration of many artists from Haryana to other parts of India.
The Mughals, the Delhi Sultans, and the Rajputs were all patrons of the arts. The Mughals were particularly known for their patronage of painting. The Delhi Sultans were also patrons of the arts, but they were not as interested in painting as the Mughals. The Rajputs were also patrons of the arts, but they were more interested in architecture and sculpture than painting.
The decline of the painting art in Haryana under the Tughlaqs was a major setback for the art of painting in India. It was not until the Mughal period that the art of painting began to revive in India.
