Achievement # 1. Balban’s Theory of Kingship and Restoration of the Prestige of the Sultan.
Achievement # 2. The Destruction of ‘The Forty’.
Achievement # 3. The Army:
A strong army was a necessity for a powerful monarchy. Balban realised its necessity to make his despotism effective, to safeguard his empire from the invasion of the Mongols and to suppress rebellions. He increased the number of officers and soldiers of his army, paid them good salaries and took personal interest in their training.
Achievement # 4.
The Administration and the Spy-System:
The administration of Balban was half-military and half-civil. All his officers were supposed to perform both administrative and military duties. Balban himself kept control over the entire administration. There was no post of naib during his reign and the position of the vazir too had become quite insignificant.
Achievement # 5. The Suppression of Revolts:
Balban took immediate measures to provide security to the city of Delhi. The forests around Delhi were cleared, four forts were built on the four corners of Delhi and ferocious Afghan troops were placed in them. The robbers and freebooters around Delhi were constantly attacked and killed brutally.
Achievement # 6. The Conquest of Bengal:
Bengal was lost to the Delhi Sultanate during the reign of Sultan Nasir-ud-din when Arsalan Khan had declared himself independent. However, when Balban ascended the throne, Tatar Khan, the son of Arsalan Khan avoided open declaration of sovereignty and even sent sixty- three elephants as a mark of respect to Balban.
