Which Rathore ruler of Marwar is associated with Sher Shah Suri's 1544 campaign against Marwar?

Explanation

Rao Maldeo Rathore of Marwar is associated with Sher Shah Suri's 1544 campaign against Marwar. The official Government College Jaitaran page describes the Jaitaran region as historically significant because of the battle of Samel between Sher Shah Suri and Rao Maldeo Rathore. Sher Shah Suri's 1544 Marwar campaign is linked with Rao Maldeo, not a generic Rathore ruler of Jodhpur. The campaign-and-battle association is Sher Shah Suri on one side and Rao Maldeo Rathore of Marwar on the other. Maldeo should not be treated as having defeated Sher Shah's general.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Rao Jodha belongs to the 15th-century phase of Marwar history, so he does not fit Sher Shah Suri's 1544 Marwar campaign.
• (B) Maharaja Jaswant Singh was a 17th-century ruler, which places him well after Sher Shah Suri's 1544 campaign.
• (D) Rao Chandrasen came after Maldeo, so he is not the Rathore ruler linked with Sher Shah Suri's 1544 action against Marwar.

Concept

RAS Rajasthan history covers Marwar's Rathore rulers and their links with major North Indian powers. Battles, rulers and regional centres such as Samel/Jaitaran are common factual anchors in Rajasthan history.
