Answer 2

The Delhi Sultans did not expand their frontiers in the early phase of their rule

Explanation:

This was because

• In the early 13th century the Delhi Sultans' control did not go afar heavily fortified towns that were occupied by garrisons (body of troops who were stationed in a specific location).
• The Delhi Sultan rarely controlled the cities' hinterland (that is, the remote areas of a nation away from the coast)
• The Delhi Sultans solely depended on plunder or tribute for their supplies
• The state was heavily challenged by the invasion of Mongols from Afghanistan
• Controlling garrison (heavily guarded) towns in distant Sindh and Bengal from Delhi was very tough
• War, bad weather, and rebellion snapped fragile and poor communication routes
• At the sigh of the Delhi Sultan's weakness, the governors rebelled often. The Sultan barely cold survive these challenges
