Persian invader Nadir Shah.<\/p>\n<p>Nadir Shah was the ruler of Persia from 1736 to 1747. He was a skilled military leader and a ruthless conqueror. In 1739, he invaded India and sacked the Mughal capital of Delhi. He took away many treasures, including the Peacock Throne. The Peacock Throne was a jewel-encrusted throne that was made for Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor who built the Taj Mahal. It was one of the most valuable objects in the world. Nadir Shah took the Peacock Throne back to Persia, where it remained until it was destroyed in a fire in 1747.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect. Ahmed Shah Abdali was an Afghan ruler who invaded India in 1757. He did not take the Peacock Throne. Genghis Khan was a Mongol ruler who invaded India in the 13th century. He did not take the Peacock Throne. The British East India Company was a British trading company that had a presence in India from the 17th century <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n           <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div>  <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> to the 19th century.
