Expert Answer
- Muhammad bin Tughlaq transferred his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad primarily because of two reasons:
- Daulatabad was centrally located and equidistant from Delhi and other important places.
- Because Delhi was within the reach of the Mongols, Daulatabad appeared to be at a safe distance from the possible Mongol attacks in the future.
- Two effects of the transfer of the capital were
- There was resentment among the people as they did not want to shift from Delhi. As a 1,500 km journey was arduous, many people died on the way and the survivors were not able to adjust to the new conditions.
- Without the king, Delhi was now the centre of Mongol attacks. Later, Muhammad bin Tughlaq again shifted his capital back to Delhi.
