In the times of Mughals the region of Jharkhand was known as _____.

  • A.Kukra
  • B.Atavi
  • C.Aranya
  • D.Vananchal

Answer: A

Under the Mughals the region was known as Kukra.

Mughal records, including the Ain-i-Akbari, call the Chotanagpur region Kukra or Khukra, a name linked to the diamonds found in its rivers that attracted Mughal attention.

Atavi (forest country) is the name used in the Ashokan and Gupta-era sources, and Aranya is a general Sanskrit word for forest. Vananchal is a modern name that was proposed for the new state at the time of its formation, not a Mughal-era one.
