For what purpose were awe and prestige used in Balban's concept of kingship?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To protect royal authority from challenge and strengthen centralization

Correct answer: A. Balban believed that the Sultan had to appear powerful, dignified, and distant so that nobles, officials, and enemies would respect his authority. He used court ceremonies, strict discipline, and an impressive royal image to strengthen the position of the Sultan. This policy helped limit challenges and support a more centralized Delhi Sultanate. A is correct because awe and prestige were tools of political authority. B is wrong because reducing agricultural tax was not their purpose. C is wrong because Chola trade belonged to a different dynasty and context. D is wrong because Nalanda was established long before Balban. Memory cue: Balban’s awe and dignity supported a strong, centralized monarchy.
