Question

Balbans theory of kingship

Answer 1

Kingship Theory of Balban was similar to that of theory of Divine right of kings. He took up the title of Zilli Illahi, or shadow of God. In order to give his kingship a religious touch, he continued to inscribe the name of the deceased Khalifa on coins. He was of the view that he would be respected and feared more if the royal title was in line with the religious beliefs of the Muslims. Balban explained his views on monarchy to his son Bughra Khan in these words, “The heart of the king is special repository of the God’s favour and in this he was no equal among mankind”.
