Discussion
The construction of city forts from the hills to the Planes was a period of __________.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Answer: D
The keyed answer is Cordial relations of Rajputs and Mughals.
Rajput rulers had built their capitals on hilltops because they needed fortified refuges against attack. Once most of them entered into alliances with the Mughals from Akbar's time, that threat receded, and they began to build palaces and planned cities on open ground in the plains. Sawai Jai Singh's move from the hill fort of Amber to the new city of Jaipur in 1727 is the classic example.
Architectural advancement and modernisation describe what the new cities looked like, and Mughal influence shows in their style, but the key takes the political condition that made the move safe, the cordial Rajput-Mughal relationship, as the defining feature of the period.
