What was the impact of the Mongol invasions on the Delhi Sultanate
Answers
Answer:
Mongol attacks on the Delhi Sultanate increased during the reign of Alauddin Khaiji and in the early years of Muhammad Tughluq's rule. Hence, a vast standing army was established under these two rulers to confront Mongol invasions. Alauddin constructed a new garrison town named Siri for his soldiers.
Answer:
The Delhi Sultanate mobilised a large standing army in Delhi as it posed a big administrative challenge. Alauddin Khalji constructed a new garrison town at Siri for his soldiers. He imposed taxes on land to feed the army at the rate of 50 percent of peasant's yield. He began to pay the soldiers in cash. Muhammad Tugluq shifted people of Delhi to Daulatabad in south and thus converted Delhi into a garrison town. He also disbanded the army. He also paid the soldiers in cash.
