Mughal emperor - 2023 ACF Nationals

Question

The origins of Raksha Bandhan can be traced to a fictitious anecdote of Rani Karnavati of Mewar sending for aid from a holder of this title before self-immolating, with help arriving too late. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this title held by Humāyūn. At the 1527 Battle of Khanwa, Rana Sanga of Mewar led an alliance of North Indian states against an invasion by Bābur, who held this title.

ANSWER: Mughal emperor [accept king, shāh, shāhanshāhān, or pādshāh in place of “emperor”; accept Mogul in place of “Mughal”; prompt on emperor, king, shāh, shāhanshāhān, or pādshāh]

[10m] The anti-Mughal alliance led by Rana Sanga is often referred to as a “confederacy” of these “princes” who ruled a number of Hindu states before the Muslim conquests of the northern subcontinent.

ANSWER: Rajputs [or raja-putras; accept Rajput confederacy; accept Rajputana]

[10h] This other queen of Mewar legendarily self-immolated to avoid marrying the Sultan of Delhi Alaud-Dīn Khaljī, an encounter memorialized by Malik Muhammad Jayasi in an Awadhi-language epic.
