Answer:
yes he revolted because
Explanation:
Doab was a fertile alluvial tract lying between the rivers Ganga and Yamuna. Muhammad Tughlaq increased the taxes of the Doab region as he was in need of money for raising a large army. Unfortunately, the increase in taxes coincided with a severe famine in the region. The tax collectors however showed no signs of mercy and ruthlessly collected taxes. Peasants unable to pay the taxes abandoned their lands and fled to forests. When the plight of peasants reached Muhammad Tughlaq, he ordered several relief measures. He opened free kitchens, distributed free grains etc., but these measures came too late and agriculture in the region suffered. Thus, his taxation of Doab failed.
