Under whose reign, the Kingdom of Ladakh went under the control of Afghans?

The correct answer is: A. Tsetan Namgyal

Tsetan Namgyal was the 11th king of Ladakh from 1570 to 1595. During his reign, the Kingdom of Ladakh went under the control of the Afghans. The Afghans invaded Ladakh in 1585 and captured the capital city of Leh. Tsetan Namgyal was forced to flee to Zanskar, where he died in 1595.

The other options are incorrect because:

• Tsewang Namgyal was the 12th king of Ladakh from 1595 to 1642. He was the son of Tsetan Namgyal and the one who defeated the Afghans and re-established Ladakh’s independence.
• Tashi Namgyal was the 13th king of Ladakh from 1642 to 1684. He was the son of Tsewang Namgyal and continued his father’s work of strengthening Ladakh’s independence.
• Deskyong Namgyal was the 14th king of Ladakh from 1684 to 1704. He was the son of Tashi Namgyal and ruled during a time of peace and prosperity for Ladakh.
