Abstract

In this study, an attempt has been made to explore the historical significance and legacy of the token currency introduced by Muhammad bin Tughluq during his reign as Sultan of Delhi from 1325-1351. An audacious economic reform, the token currency aimed to ease the strain on the state treasury due to expansive military campaigns and territorial expansion. Notwithstanding, the revolutionary system underpinned by copper and brass coins, intended to supplant traditional precious metals, failed due to the lack of public trust and widespread counterfeiting. Despite its failure, this experiment represented an integral part of a broader socio-economic and cultural evolution. Tughluq's reign witnessed numerous reforms and ambitious projects like the shifting of the capital to Daulatabad and extensive irrigation projects, laying the foundation for the development in the Deccan region. Lessons from this experiment, such as the necessity of public trust, a robust infrastructure, and strong security measures, continue to be relevant for contemporary monetary practices and reforms, particularly in light of debates surrounding the digitization of money and the advent of crypto currencies.

Abstract

Alauddin Khilji, the sovereign of the Delhi Sultanate during the medieval period in India, was confronted with a plethora of martial challenges throughout his rule. Among these challenges were the defence against Mongol incursions, the quelling of internal insurrections, the enlargement of the territorial boundaries of the Sultanate, and the surmounting of various logistical hindrances. In response to these exigencies, Khilji undertook considerable military reforms. These included the formation of a standing army, the enactment of rigorous disciplinary protocols, the initiation of the branding system for horses, and the erection of strategically positioned fortifications. These alterations were instrumental in fortifying his authority, augmenting the territorial expanse of the Sultanate, enhancing the efficacy of the military forces, and reinforcing the stability of the Delhi Sultanate. The military tactics and decisions of Khilji, encompassing his assertive expansionist approach and focus on defence, intelligence acquisition, and utilisation of resources, facilitated his martial triumphs and induced a transformative effect on the socio-political fabric of the Sultanate.

Abstract

The beautiful valley of Kashmir has been named by people with different names. Some call it "Heavens on Earth," some call it "Switzerland of India," and the famous Mughal rulers called it "Paradise on Earth." The valley has remained an apple in the eyes of foreign invaders since the very past. Among all these foreign rulers, some were rude and some were soft. The 19th-century Kashmir witnessed the rule of Sikhs, which stretched over a vast area extending from Kashgar in the east to Punjab in the north, Khorasan in the south, and Afghanistan in the west. The Sikh rule was founded by Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1819 and continued by his successors till 1846. These Sikhs ruled Kashmir in a turbulent way, and the people of the valley suffered a lot. They imposed high taxes on innocent peasants, leaving the land uncultivated. They implemented a beggar system, which resulted in people leaving the valley. During this period, the economy of the valley faced a decline as trade decreased, and cottage industries were shut down. These Sikh rulers drained the economic resources of the country, resulting in the valley during the Sikh rule presenting a picture of a desert due to exorbitant taxes and inhuman tyranny of Sikh rulers.
