Question

Why did Muhammad Tughlaq’s following schemes prove a failure?

Transfer of Capital from Delhi to Devagiri

Short Note

Solution

In 1327 he decided to transfer his Capital from Delhi to Devagiri now Daulatabad with a view to having the Capital situated in the middle of his kingdom. He was bent upon taking all the inhabitants of Delhi to the new Capital. No one liked the forced move; it was doomed to failure. As soon as the Sultan was convinced of the failure of his scheme, he ordered the people to return to their homes in Delhi.
