3. The intended audience of this excerpt most likely consisted of...

a) Young Hindus in Khorasan and Persia

b) The older generation of Vaishyas in South Asia
c) Buddhists who might not be familiar with Hindus

d) Muslims who lived in South Asia

Respuesta :

The intended audience was most likely for d) Muslims who lived in South Asia.

The person who wrote this message was a scholar in the court of Mahmud of Ghazni who was a Muslim that attacked India several times in order to conquer it.

Al-Beruni's tone here was very critical of Hindus so we can assume that:

  • the message was not for Hindus
  • the message was about the current generation at the time because they were the one's viewed as narrow minded
  • message was not directed at Buddhists who might not be familiar with Hindus as there is no mention of Buddhists here.

We can therefore conclude that the message is most likely for Muslims in South East Asia which is where the Hindus were dominant and where Mahmud wanted to conquer.
