Explanation:
1. He campaigned into Kashmir which was a disaster. He then gave up his plans to invade Transoxiana and disbanded his large army.
2. His administrative measures created problems. He shifted the residents of the old city to the new capital of Daulatabad in the south. People did not like this step taken by Muhammad Tughluq. They resented collectively.
3. Tughluq, in order to meet the expense of maintaining a large number of soldiers, levied additional taxes which increased the burden of common people.
4. The famine in the Ganga-Yamuna belt led to widespread rebellion.
5. Muhammad Tughluq's policy of 'token' currency also proved a failure. People of the 14th century did not trust this currency. They were very smart. They saved their gold and silver coins and paid all their taxes to the state with the token currency. This cheap currency could also be counterfeited easily.
List the two ambitions and unique schemes of Muhammad bin Tughlaq.Suggest measures which you would have taken as a ruler to ensure that the above schemes were successful.
Answer - The two ambitious and unique schemes of Muhammad Bin Tughlaq are as follows -:
1. Introduction of a token currency - In 1329, there was a shortage of silver during this period. So, the Sultanat decided to mint coins of brass and copper for day to day use. But after sometime the treasury does became empty. The experiment was soon withdrawn.
2. Transfer of capital- In 1327, Muhammad Bin Tughlaq decided to transfer his capital from Delhi to Devagiri which was rechristened Daultabad - the house of prosperity.
☆ For Suggestions,
As a ruler to ensure the schemes that they are good for people or not we have to do some following ways -:
1. For token currency introduction, as a ruler Jauna Khan (Mohammed Bin Tughlaq). They have a strict check to ensure that the people did not make their own coins which we call ‘jali’ or fake.
2. For Transfer of capital, Transfer of the sultanate’s capital from Delhi to Daultabad was a huge mistake as it led to an erstwhile powerful city (Delhi) falling in neglect. There was discontent brewing among his citizens who had shifted from Delhi to Daulatabad, and on top of that it was not easy to control the North from Daulatabad, and he hadn’t been able to secure the South completely, using Daulatabad as his base.
