Explanation:
The ancient Greek word ?bárbaros,? from which it derives, meant ?babbler,?.In the Greek ear, speakers of a foreign tongue made unintelligible sounds (?bar bar bar?). Similar words exist in other Indo-European languages, including the Sanskrit ?barbara,? which means ?stammering.?The word ?barbarian? originated in ancient Greece and was initially used to describe all non-Greek-speaking peoples, including Persians, Egyptians, Medes and Phoenicians.
Correct Answer: Hujwiri?s conversation with the Yogis shows that he was impressed with their theory of the division of the human body.
Explanation:
According to al-Biruni, the sufi theories of the soul were similar to those in Patanjali?s Yoga Sutra. Like the Yoga Sutra, sufi works also stated that ?the bodies are the snares of the souls for the purpose of acquiring recompense?. Al-Biruni also identifies the sufi doctrine of divine love as self-annihilation with parallel passages from the Bhagavad Gita. There was also much exchange of ideas between the Sufis and Indian yogis. In fact the hatha-yoga treatise Amrita Kunda was translated into Arabic and Persian, So C is right.
Hujwiri was known as Datta Ganj Baksh. Hujwiri comments that before he settled in Lahore some sufis believed in theories that he calls brahmanical. According to Hujwiri they wrongly believed that ?annihilation (fand?) signifies loss of essence and destruction of the personality, and that subsistence (baqa) indicates the subsistence of God in man.
Correct Answer: Francisco Pelsaert
Explanation:
But while the average Mughal farmer produced more than in later times, he most probably produced less than in earlier times. On the whole, the Mughal period was marked by agricultural stagnation, if not slump. The per capita yield was declining, and the average man in Mughal India probably had less to eat than before. 'The surplus income left to the peasant was tending to decrease, where it had not already vanished,' says Moreland. 'The provinces,' says Pelsaert, 'are so impoverished that a jagir which is reckoned to be worth 50,000 rupees, may sometimes not yield even 25,000, although so much is wrung from the peasants, that even dry bread is scarcely left to fill their stomachs.'
