Answers
Explanation:
Muhammad Bin Tughlaq shifted his capital from Delhi to the more centrally located Devagiri in Maharashtra, which was renamed as Daulatabad. To save his capital from mongal raids. After they reached ,Daulatabad when trouble broke out in Bengal as well as on the northwestern frontier. Tughlaq realized that while his new capital was distant enough to be safe from Mongol invasions, it was also too far away to protect northern India. So, the mercurial ruler re-ordered his people to return to Delhi. Thousands died in the punishing 1500 km return march to Delhi. While Tughlaq did try to make amends by abolishing multiple taxes and organising relief measures, the financial loss was immense and the consequences for Delhi grave.
