briefly explain the controversial steps taken by Muhammad bin Tughlaq
Answers
Answer:“One of the most controversial steps taken by Mohammad-bin-Tughlaq, early in his reign, was the decision of transfer of capital to Deogiri or Devagiri which was renamed Daulatabad, and the alleged orders of the sultan ordering a mass transfer of the people from Delhi to the new capital.”
Explanation:
Answer:
1. Shifting of capital from Delhi to Devagiri.
In 1327, Tughluq ordered to move his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad (also known as Devagiri) (in present-day Maharashtra) in the Deccan region of India. Muhammad bin Tughlaq himself had spent a number of years as a prince on campaign in the southern states during the reign of his father.
2. Introduction of the “token currency”.
The token currency in India was introduced for the first time by Muhammad Bin Tughlaq. Muhammad Bin Tughlaq issued token money in 1330, after his unsuccessful expedition to Deogiri; that is, coins of brass and copper were minted whose worth was equivalent to that of coins of gold and silver.
