During the medieval age, of which the major portion, in terms of time belongs to the Delhi Sultanate, the then India was renewed for her incredible wealth. It was the story of our enormous wealth that enticed Mahmud of Ghazni and his plundering hordes to attack the prosperous capital of our Kingdoms and Plunder our temples. Contempory accounts of period make us believe that by plundering Muhammad Bin Qasim in Sind and Multand and Mahmud of Ghazni in Hindustan acquired a vast plunder that included coined, uncoined money, precious stone of various kinds and a variety of other goods valued at crore of rupees. Thus, the economic prosperity of our country during the Delhi Sultanate, the Turko –Afghan, period, is beyond question.
The Source of Wealth
In the period, which we are discussing here, agriculture was the main source of our wealth. In most parts of the are under the Delhi Sultanate or during medieval age, the natural fertility of the soil, copious rainfall and irrigation facilities, catered since the early times and their systematic rain forcement by Firoz Tughlaq, in combination with the industry of our peasants, led to the production of so much corn that it not only successfully fulfilled the demand of the country but was also exported to other countries.
Red crops such as sugarcane, cotton, oil seeds, lintels, indigo, poppy etc. were produced on a large scale. Fruits of numerous varieties, as we are informed that during the reign of Firoz Tughlaq most fruits were grown in the gardens, were a considerable source of revenue.
