प्रश्न

With reference to the reign of Muhammad-bin-Tughlaq, explain the following:

His attempts to transfer the capital from Delhi to Daulatabad.

टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

During Muhammad-bin-Tughlaq’s reign, the empire had also spread to the south. He shifted his capital to Devagiri near modern Aurangabad and renamed it Daulatabad. He did it for the following reasons:

  1. Daulatabad was centrally located from where he could control the Deccan territories; and
  2.  Delhi was in the grip of severe famine; and
  3. Delhi was constantly threatened by the Mongol invasions. He ordered the people of Delhi including religious heads to shift to Daulatabad in 1328-29.
