Question
- Assertion (A): Muhammad bin Tughlaq wanted to punish the peasants.
- Reason (R): Muhammad bin Tughlaq raised the tax in the Doab region.
Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
Ibn Batutah says that Muhammad-binTughlaq was disgusted with the population of Delhi and thus wanted to punish them. But most of the historians do not agree with Ibn Batutah. The Sultan also made an ill-advised financial experiment in the Doab between the Ganges and Jamuna.
He not only increased the rate of taxation but also revived and created some additional Abwabs or cesses. Although the share of the state remained half as in the time of Alauddin, it was fixed arbitrarily and not on the basis of actual production.
