Question
What arrangements did Muhammad bin Tughlaq make to achieve his ambition of a world empire? Why did his scheme fail?
Solution
Muhammad bin Tughlaq dreamt of establishing a world empire. For this, he decided to conquer Khurasan, Persia, and Iraq. He mobilized a huge army for it and equipped it and paid one full year’s salary in advance. But later he realized that it was not easy to send such a large army across the snowy Himalayan passes. So this scheme failed and it even drained the wealth of the royal treasury.
