Consider the following statements about the use of stirrup in India : 1. The Konarak horse sculpture (c. 1250) shows a ring-stirrup. 2. A broad, probably wooden, stirrup appears in Khajuraho sculptures (probably 10th century). 3. The iron-stirrup was used in the Delhi Sultans' armies from the thirteenth century onwards. How many of the above statements is/are correct ?

All three statements about the use of stirrups in India are correct. The Konarak Sun Temple's horse sculpture from around 1250 CE shows a ring-shaped stirrup. Khajuraho sculptures from approximately the 10th century depict a broad, likely wooden stirrup, marking an earlier stage of stirrup use in India. The iron stirrup, providing the cavalry with significant tactical advantage, was widely adopted by the Delhi Sultanate's armies from the 13th century onwards, contributing to their military success.
