Question

Describe the steps taken by Ala-ed-din Khalji to maintain low and order in his Sultanate ,​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Most important points that you need to remember during Ala-ed-din Khilji's reign are:

• Vast number of Mongol attacks.
• Market reforms
• taxation system
• wars and campaigns

The answer to your question lies with the 2nd and the 3rd point.

The ruler introduced market reforms by ensuring that the supplies arent horded.By doing so, the prices were kept under check and even though he increased the tax on agricultural produce to upto 50%, he was able to keep problems like famine and hyperinflation at bay.

Next is the taxation system.He had an impressive taxation system put in place. He collected mainly 6 types of taxes.

1. Jazziya (tax on non Muslims)
2. jaqaat ( tax on Muslims)
3. khumz
4. kharaj
5. Chari( tax on cattles)
6. Ghari ( house tax)

Having such different sources of taxes in place ensured that he gets enough revenue to fund his military campaigns and not go broke.

Hopefully this answers your question.
