Consider the following statements :
Assertion (A) : Balban's Theory of Kingship was based on the policy of 'Blood and Iron'.
Reason (R) : The prestige of the crown was undermined under the successors of Iltutmish. Answer the question from the codes given below :
Codes :
Answer: B
Both statements are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A), as keyed. Balban's theory of kingship was a strong, harsh one, summed up in the phrase blood and iron, with the king's power derived from divine will and enforced by the army and spies. The prestige of the crown had fallen under Iltutmish's weak successors, which is why Balban set out to restore it by stern rule.
The options calling (A) wrong or (R) wrong, or denying the link between them, do not follow the key.
