Question

for what reason was the Delhi sultanate dependent on the garrison towns​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the early thirteenth century, the control of the Delhi Sultanate was largely confined to fortified settlements with soldiers known as Garrison Towns. The soldiers had to depend on risky trade and robbery. They were attacked by their own governors and by Mongols coming through Afghanistan. The Sultan rarely controlled the hinterland of the cities. Therefore, for revenue he had to depend on trade, tribute or plunder in the beginning.

Answer 2

Answer:

A garrison town is a fortified settlement with soldiers. TheSultans seldom controlled the hinterland of the cities and hence were dependent on trade, tribute and plunder for supplies. Rebellion, war and bad weather would snap the fragile communication routes.
