Discuss the circumstance leading to the downfull of delhi sultanate
Answers
Answer:
The disintegration of the Delhi Suhanate was not sudden but it began by the end of the reign of Ferozshah Tughlak in AD 1388 and it was completed by the invasion of Timur who caused destruction of the city of Delhi between the years of AD 1398-99. Timur’s invasion resulted in the spread of death and destruction in Delhi and its neighbourhood and also carried away a number of artisans to beautify Samarqand.
Definitely, this invasion paralysed the Delhi Sultanate beyond recovery, though it lingered for more than a century. Some attribute the disintegration to the actions of Muhammad bin Tughlak and the bigotry of Ferozshah Tughlak. But it is to be remembered that no individual Sultan can be held responsible for the downfall. It is the deep-rooted regionalism and a number of political chiefs of regions who were waiting for an opportunity to rise and declare independence as and when they found weaknesses in the central government.
The Sultans tried to stop this trend by creating a band of slaves, loyal to them and also loyal people among the nobility. But the individual selfishness was also responsible for the failure of these checks. Religion could hardly unite people and it could not prevent rebellion from kith and kin. The problem of succession also hastened the disintegration of the Delhi Sultanate.
