Question

Which of the following reasons was mainly responsible for the unpopularity of Muhammad-bin-Tughlaq?

विकल्प

• Bad luck

• Lack of resources

• Subordination of the theologians

• Transfer of capital from Delhi to Devagiri

Answer 1

Transfer of capital from Delhi to Devagiri

Explanation:

In 1327, Muhammad bin Tughluq passed an order to shift the capital from Delhi to Daulatabad (in present-day Maharashtra) in the Deccan region of South India.  Tughluq said that it would help him to establish control over the fertile land of the Deccan plateau. Even though the citizens migrated, they showed dissent. In the process, many died on the road due to hunger and exhaustion.
