I want the answer to this question.

Answer 1

Answer:

• In the early thirteenth century the control of the Delhi Sultans did not go beyond heavily fortified towns occupied by garrisons.
• The Sultans seldom controlled the hinterland of the cities.
• They were solely dependent upon tribute or plunder for supplies.
• Controlling garrison towns in distant Bengal and Sind from Delhi was extremely difficult.
• Rebellion, war and bad weather could snap fragile communication routes.
• The state was also challenged by Mongol invasions from Afghanistan.
• The governors rebelled frequently at any sign of the Sultan’s weakness.
• The Sultanate barely survived these challenges
