Answer »Answer: (a)
Firoz Shah Tughlaq was the first Sultan to impose irrigation tax. But at the same time, he dug irrigation canals and wells. The longest canal was about 200 kilometres from Sutlej to Hansi.
Another canal was between Yamuna and Hissar. There were about 1200 fruit gardens in and around Delhi yielding more revenue. The tenor of his policy was very different from that of Muhammad- bin Tughluq. He made the iqtas hereditary.
The land assigned to an official could be taken back along with his official position prior to Firuz Shah Tughlaq but now they functioned like hereditary holders.
