Who among the following was the Vakil under the reign of Mughal Emperor, Akbar, who received the title of Khan-i-Khanan?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

- "Vakil" here refers to the regent or chief minister acting for the young emperor. The title "Khan-i-Khanan" means "Khan of Khans" and was conferred on leading nobles/commanders.
- Bairam Khan served as regent (Vakil) and commander-in-chief for the young Akbar after Humayun's death. He acted as Akbar's guardian and chief minister during the early years of Akbar's reign and held the high title of Khan-i-Khanan.
- Elimination of other options:
  - Mulla Do-Piyaza is a legendary/fictitious court figure, not historically recorded as Vakil or Khan-i-Khanan.
  - Birbal (Mahesh Das) was a trusted courtier and witty advisor, not the Vakil with the title Khan-i-Khanan.
  - Raja Todar Mal was Akbar's finance minister (Diwan-i-Ashraf/Todarmal), not Vakil nor Khan-i-Khanan.

Therefore the correct answer is Bairam Khan.
