Question

How did Timur's invasion give a severe blow to Delhi Sultain?Give two reasons​

Answer 1

Explanation:

After the death of Firuz Shah Tuglaq, the conflict between nobles and the Sultan resurfaced. Taking advantage of the situation, many rajas and the zamindars started asserting their independence. The struggle between the nobles and the ruling elites for the throne was quite common during the Medieval time, but a new development was noted i.e the interference of the Firuzi slaves in this struggle to appoint their own nominee to the throne. Finally , Firuz Shah’s son Muhammad ascended the throne. He and his successor Nasir- ud-din Mahmud made a number of attempts to break the authority of the Firuzi slaves but those efforts were of little avail.

Thus, Firuz Shah’s decision to make army and nobility hereditary, strengthened their position and weakened the authority of the king which eventually created many problems leading to internal weakness.

Answer 2

Timur succeeded in establishing a vast empire which included Transoxiana, a part of Turkistan, Afghanistan, Persia, Syria, Qurdistan, Baghdad, Georgia and the major part of Asia Minor. He successfully looted southern Russia and several parts of India. Delhi was perhaps the worst sufferer. It is said of Timur’s invasions, “Wherever he went he brought about destruction, massacres, burning, looting and dishonour to women”.
