The correct answer is: B. Sansar Chand.
Sansar Chand was the Raja of Chamba from 1675 to 1704. He was a powerful and influential ruler who was known for his military prowess and his patronage of the arts. He was also a devout Hindu who was determined to protect the temples of Chamba from the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s orders to demolish them.
Aurangzeb was a Muslim ruler who was determined to convert all of his subjects to Islam. He issued orders to demolish temples throughout his empire, including the temples of Chamba. Sansar Chand refused to obey these orders and instead ordered his soldiers to protect the temples. Aurangzeb was furious and sent an army to Chamba to punish Sansar Chand. However, Sansar Chand’s army was victorious and the Mughal army was forced to retreat.
Sansar Chand’s defiance of Aurangzeb made him a hero to the Hindus of Chamba. He is still remembered today as a great ruler who protected the temples of Chamba from the Mughals.
