Question

___________ is centre of the administrative system of Delhi sultanate​

Answer 1

Answer:

In Chapter 2 we saw that regions like the Kaveri delta

became the centre of large kingdoms. Did you notice

that there was no mention of a kingdom with Delhi

as its capital? That was because Delhi became an

important city only in the twelfth century.

Take a look at Table 1. Delhi first became the capital

of a kingdom under the Tomara Rajputs, who were

defeated in the middle of the twelfth century by the

Chauhans (also referred to as Chahamanas) of Ajmer.

It was under the Tomaras and Chauhans that Delhi

became an important commercial centre. Many rich

Jaina merchants lived in the city and constructed several

temples. Coins minted here, called

dehliwal, had a wide circulation.

The transformation of Delhi into

a capital that controlled vast areas

of the subcontinent started with

the foundation of the Delhi

Sultanate in the beginning of the

thirteenth century. Take a look at

Table 1 again and identify the five

dynasties that together made the

Delhi Sultanate.

The Delhi Sultans built many

cities in the area that we now

know as Delhi. Look at Map 1

and locate Dehli-i Kuhna, Siri

and Jahanpanah.

Answer 2

Answer:

Administration during the Delhi Sultanate was completely dependent on Muslim laws which were the laws of the Shariat or the laws of Islam. The Sultans and the nobles primary duty was to observe the laws of Shariat or Islamic laws in the matters of the state. This period rightfully stated that the Administration of Delhi Sultanate was largely influenced by their religion.
