What to Focus On

  • The Delhi Sultanate was formed after the 1192 defeat of Prithviraj Chauhan.
  • It was ruled by five dynasties: Mamluks, Khiljis, Tughlaqs, Sayyids, and Lodis.
  • The Sultan was the political and military head.

  • Ala-ud-din Khilji expanded the Sultanate and repelled Mongol invasions.
  • Malik Kafur expanded the Sultanate into the south.
  • Wars needed large amounts of money, food, transport, and equipment.

  • Muhammad bin Tughlaq ruled over most of the Subcontinent.
  • He shifted the capital to Daulatabad and then back to Delhi.
  • His token currency caused confusion and counterfeiting.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Babur ended the Delhi Sultanate in the First Battle of Panipat by defeating Ibrahim Lodi, and the Mughal Empire began after that.

Muhammad bin Tughlaq’s capital shift to Daulatabad was a permanent success because Daulatabad was a better capital.

Muhammad bin Tughlaq’s token currency was a clever idea that worked well immediately and strengthened the economy.
