Famous Indian Rulers

Rani Lakshmibai was the queen of Jhansi. Remember her as a heroine of the Revolt of 1857.

Sukaphaa, also written as Sukapha or Chaolung Sukaphaa, is closely associated with the beginning of the Ahom Kingdom in the Brahmaputra valley. He is remembered as the Tai leader who entered the region in the thirteenth century and established a political base in present-day Assam. Therefore, his name belongs to the history of Assam and the Ahom rulers, not to the histories of Mysore, Malwa, or Awadh.

To solve the question, connect Sukaphaa with the kingdom founded by the Ahom people. The Ahom Kingdom gradually became a powerful state in Assam and continued for several centuries. Mysore is associated with rulers such as the Wodeyars and Tipu Sultan, while Malwa and Awadh have different historical traditions. Hence option A, Ahom Kingdom, is the correct choice.
