Schemes of Mohd. BIN Tuglaq | मोहम्मद बिन तुगलक की योजनाएं | Mr. Tanveer Ali Zaidi

Following are the Schemes founded by Mohd. BIN Tuglaq:
1. Heavy taxation in the Doab:
In the beginning of his reign, the Sultan increased the rate of taxes in the Doab-a very fertile area located between the Ganga and Yamuna rivers.
The taxes were increased on account of the following reasons:
(1) The Sultan wanted to raise a strong army for conquests.
(2) The people of Doab were rich and were in a position to pay the increased taxes.
2. Transfer of the Capital:
The plan of the transfer of capital from Delhi to Devagiri which was renamed as Daultabad misfired.
Following reasons are assigned to this transfer:
(i) Devagiri was made the capital according to Barani as the new place was centrally located. The new capital had equal distance from Delhi, Gujarat, Lakhnauti, Tellanga, Dwarasamudra etc.
(ii) Ibn Batuta is of the view that the people of Delhi wrote abusive letters to Muhammad Tughlaq. The Sultan, therefore, wanted to teach them a lesson by depriving them of the capital. The above view is also supported by Isami.
(iii) Gardner Brown ascribes the reason of the transfer of capital as the constant danger of the Mongol’s attack at Delhi.
(iv) There was a revolt of a great magnitude in the South and accord­ingly the Sultan desired to strengthen his position there.
(v) it is stated by some historians that poets like Khusro had created a great fascination in the mind of the Sultan for the beauty of Devagiri.
(vi) The Sultan wanted to create an other major administrative centre so that Muslim population could be increased in the Deccan.
3. Use of token currency:
The Sultan needed more money on account of various reasons. He wanted to raise a huge army as he is said to have thought of conquering the whole world. He had also distributed a lot of money among nobles to please them when he ascended the throne after the death of his father which had occurred on account of his participation in a conspiracy. Muhammad Tughlaq issued token currency because there was a shortage of gold coins and the Sultan on the other hand needed money.
4. Bribing the Mongols:
The Mongols were encouraged to attack Delhi, when the capital was shifted from Delhi to Daultabad. The Mongol general Tarmashirin is said to have trampled the entire region from Lahore to Delhi without facing any stiff resistance. Obviously Muhammad Tughlaq had neglected the frontier. Mohammad Tughlaq gave him five hundred dinars as bribes and persuaded him to return. This showed the weakness of the Sultan.
Some historians however, do not accept this version of bribe. But the fact remains that the Mongols did reach the vicinity of Delhi as on this issue there is little difference among historians. After the return of the Mongols the Sultan took preventive measures to safeguard his North-West Frontier province.
5. Plan to conquer Khurasan and Iraq:
The unstable political conditions in Central Asia encouraged the Sultan to undertake the expedition of conquering these territories. The Sultan raised a large army of about 4 lakh soldiers for this purpose and payed it one year’s salary in advance. In the meantime situation changed and the Sultan realized the futility of the scheme and disbanded the army.
