delhi sultanate mcq set 6 Questions and Answers Detailed Explanation

Answer: (b)

The correct chronological order of Mohammad Bin Tughlaq’s programme is;

• increase of taxation in Doab,
• promulgation of token currency,
• transfer of capital,
• Khurasan expedition.

During his reign, Tughluq imposed a heavy tax in the land between the Ganga and the Yamuna rivers.

Muhammad took a very modern step in introducing bronze coins as the token currency. Nevertheless, the absence of a central mint created a huge problem as the Government was not able to prevent forgery of coins. He transferred his capital in 1327 to Deogir (now Daulatabad).

The Sultan had a vision of universal conquest. He decided to conquest Khurasan and Iraq and mobilized a huge army for the purpose. But his expedition proved a failure.
