Q II Razia Sultana was the only woman ruler of both the Sultanate
and the Mughal period. Inspite of being an able ruler she was
not allowed to rule for long.
Discuss and write the reasons behind this discrimination
Razia was a capable administrator but the Muslim nobility had no intention of
acceding to Iltutmish's appointment of a woman as heir. It was the tradition
of gender stereotyping towards women that led the male majority in the
kingdom go against her. It is an example of gender inequality and
discrimination.
Q III Imagine you are a peasant in Muhammad-bin-Tughlaq’s reign and you
cannot pay the taxes demanded by the king. Prepare a report on the
condition of the peasants and suggest measures to solve the problem.
Doab is the fertile land between the rivers Ganga and Yamuna. Ghiyas-uddin
had reduced the land revenue to one-tenth, but Mohammed tried to
raise the revenue once again.
Unfortunately, that very year the rains failed and the region came under the
grip of famine. The farmers therefore could not pay the taxes. Many of the
farmers were caught and punished while others left their lands and ran off to
the jungles to escape the tyranny of the Sultan’s officers. When Mohammed
realized this, he ordered his officers to spare the farmers and sanctioned
financial help to them. But it was too late as the families of many farmers had
already died of starvation and lands had also become barren.
Suggestions to solve the problem:
Discussion- Meet the king and present the problem as an individual
matter.
Make group – Join with other farmers and make a group to meet the king
and present the problem.
Develop a plan – Develop an alternative plan for the king to make
receive income for his army.
Research and brainstorm on the cause and effect of the situation and
gain the kings attention to it.
Q V Evaluate Alauddin Khalji’s price control system.
Write your opinion on whether the control of pricing is needed in today’s
times? Give one way in which Alauddin Khalji’s reforms system can be useful for pricing system of today.
It was the most significant reform of Alauddin. He advised the price control
system as he was in need of large standing army to save Delhi. The Sultan
paid salaries to his soldiers in cash in lieu of iqtas. To enable the soldiers to
lead their life on a moderate pay, he controlled the prices of all the articles in
Delhi. He fixed the prices on the basis of careful survey done by his officers
and setup markets. Anyone caught hoarding goods or a merchant did not
sell the commodities at the prescribed rates was punished.
Yes I feel there should be control on pricing today as the rate of the products
is so high that the common man cannot buy easily. Strict punishment given
by Alaudin should be followed in today’s times to avoid hoarding and selling
commodities in higher rates
