Answer 2

Answer:

Here am giving you the 5points about your question.

1. The Sultan required extra wealth for the splendour of the Courland to enhance his own pomp and show. For this it was essen­tial to introduce reforms in the revenue system.

2. Alauddin was an ambitious ruler. He established law and order in the country by crushing the rebels and conspirators. He required a lot or money to fulfil his designs.

3. The Sultan needed money in order to check the incessant Mongol invasions and to strengthen the north-west frontier.

4. Alauddin had an opinion that the landlords became wealthy and powerful without any labour and they conspired against the Sultan due to excess of money. The Sultan decided to reduce them to the state of the poor and the powerless, so “he introduced some changes in the land system.

5. In the revenue department Khuts and Mugaddams had become quite wealthy and powerful through corruption. They were also enjoying several privileges. The Sultan wanted to end their supremacy in the revenue department, so it became essential for him to introduce some reforms in the revenue department. Dr. P. Saran also remarked, “His economic measures were the outcome of an urgent and grave political situation.”
