Q1 of 25 Page 39

Write five policies of Mohammad Tughlaq.

The policies of Mohammad Tughlaq are:


1) Revenue Reforms


The main motive of the Sultan was to set up a uniform standard of land revenue


2) Taxation in Doab (1525-27 A.D.)


The taxation was raised by ten to twenty times more.


3) Attempt to Improve Agriculture


The main object of this department was to increase the land under cultivation.


4) Transfer of the Capital (1326-1327 A.D.)


Sultan desired to make Daultabad the centre of Muslim culture and therefore, decided to make it his capital.


5) The Introduction of Token Currency (1329-1330 A.D.)


Sultan introduced token currency because the funds were empty while he needed money to fulfill his schemes of conquest.


Tughlaq lacked the qualities which could make him a successful organizer of a group of people. All these limitations contributed to failures of his schemes.
