Q49 (IAS/2002) History & Culture › Medieval India › Medieval administrative terminology Answer Verified

With reference to medieval Indian rulers, which one of the following statements is correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct statement is (4). Firuz (Firoz) Tughlaq organised separate departments including Diwan-i-Bandagan (department of slaves), which is explicitly associated with his administration. Options (1) and (2) are incorrect: the Diwan-i-Ariz (department of military affairs) is attributed to Balban rather than first to Alauddin, while the branding (dagh) of horses and maintenance of descriptive rolls is a reform credited to Alauddin Khalji to regulate the army. Option (3) is also wrong: Muhammad bin Tughlaq was succeeded by Firoz Shah Tughlaq (who established a more conciliatory, restorative regime), not by his uncle as stated [1].
