Question

Explain any 3 consequences that people faced after shifting the capital from Delhi to Dauladbad during the reign of Muhammad bin Tughlaq?

Answer 1

Answer:

In the absence of the sultan Delhi was now exposed to renewed attacks by the Mongols. Realizing his folly Muhammad bin Tughlaq shifted his capital back to Delhi after 2 years. The people were ordered to return. The suffering and mental agony caused great resentment. The experiment was a dismal failure. It had drained the treasury and reduced the grand and prosperous capital of Delhi to a mere shadow of its former self. Daulatabad a monument of misdirected energy became a deserted city.
