Consider the following statements regarding Chand Bibi, the famous warrior queen of the Deccan:
1. She acted as the Regent of Bijapur and later as the Regent of Ahmadnagar.
2. She successfully led the defense of the Ahmadnagar fort against the invading Mughal armies of Emperor Akbar, led by Prince Murad.
3. She was ultimately killed by her own mutinous troops who misunderstood her diplomatic negotiations with the Mughals as treachery.
Which of the statements given above are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

All three statements are correct. Chand Bibi was a prominent figure in Deccan politics. She defended Ahmadnagar valiantly against the Mughals in 1595. Later, during a subsequent siege in 1599, when she tried to negotiate a realistic peace treaty, a rumor was spread that she was betraying the state, leading an enraged mob of her own troops to murder her.
