Mahmud Gawan was the minister of

  • A.Bahmani Kingdom
  • B.Vijayanagar
  • C.Bidar
  • D.Berar

Answer: A

Mahmud Gawan was the minister of the Bahmani Kingdom.

Mahmud Gawan, a Persian merchant who rose to be the chief minister (wazir) of the Bahmani sultans in the later fifteenth century, reorganised the administration and army and built the famous madrasa at Bidar. He was executed in 1481 after a court conspiracy, and the kingdom declined soon after.

Bidar was the Bahmani capital, and Berar one of its provinces, later a separate sultanate; neither was a separate kingdom he served. Vijayanagar was the Bahmanis' rival.
