Muhammad Bin Tughlaq

Muhammad Bin Tughlaq (1325-1351 AD)

Tughlaq was committed to maintaining the Sultanate's expansion into the newly conquered provinces of peninsula: India. To strengthen the sultanate's hold on its southern parts,Tughluq, early in his reign, moved the capital from Delhi to Devagiri, 700 miles (1500 km) south in the Deccan, renaming Devagiri as Daulatabad. Instead of moving just his government offices there, he forcibly moved the entire population of Delhi to the new capital. The plan proved disastrous due to Mongol Attack on North. And since this happened in summer,  many people died because of inadequate water supply arrangements in Daulatabad; after only two years, the capital had to be shifted back again to Delhi, again at great loss, and it was said that Dellhi was a ghost town for years after the move back. "When I entered Delhi, it was almost like a desert", wrote the famed North African travel writer,Ibnbatuta
